Read Betrayed by Her Biker Vows and Betrayed by Her Biker King first. This story continues directly from Book Two.

A man with his hands up said four words.

Her husband shot him before the fifth.

Lark Whitlow Cantrell has one line and has held it for nine years: nothing of the club's on Whitlow ground. Her husband broke it once with a lease. Now he breaks it with a shotgun in a lawn chair inside her father's gate, and he tells her before he does it, exactly like he promised.

She says no.

He does it anyway.

Rhett “Beast” Cantrell is President of the Hollow Crown MC, under federal indictment, with a trial in January and a Tulsa gun broker who just found out a dead man tried to trade him to the feds. The broker wants three things: the evidence withdrawn, a guilty plea, and the runs back on. He takes the one thing Rhett can count.

Lark.

Six days in a feed room at the end of a four-hundred-foot chicken house in Arkansas. A cot, a bucket, a bulb that never goes off. And outside her door, drinking, the man who slashed her tires in August and rode away to a rival club with a crown still on his arm.

She doesn't beg him. She talks to him. Four nights, until he hears what he's saying.

By the time her husband's headlights hit the trees, she has the one name the whole series turns on. And when Rhett comes through that building with his hands and a shotgun and his face gone cold, the man who knows it is standing in a doorway with his hands in the air.

Don't, she says. He knows who did it.

Ask your, the man says.

Two shots.

Rhett brought her home. He would do it again, every time, and he tells her so. What he will not do is believe what she heard, because the name she carried out of Arkansas belongs to his best friend, the man who pinned his patch, the man who handled the cleanup.

He chooses the brother he can see over the wife who was in the room.

Now she is home, and staying, and not wrong. He is guilty in a federal courtroom and silent on the steps in front of a mother asking where her son is. And a safe in a locked room has a log nobody has read yet.

He killed for her without blinking.

She has to decide if she can live next to that.
