I had it all.
Family. Career. A future.
Until a couple of bikers brutally took it away from me.
They scarred me both inside and out, killing the man I once was.
Jared Koynakov is dead and Koyn rose from the ashes.
Ten years later, I live by a code that is shaped by hate, anger, and revenge.
As prez, I’ve built a brotherhood of men who share the same thirst for vengeance and are loyal until the end.
Together, we will find those bastards and end them.
Every last one of them.
All it takes is one slip, and I almost have them in my grasp.
Until a pretty pageant girl, who looks far too much like my daughter, steps into the fray, causing the ultimate distraction.
I must choose between my revenge and being her savior.
I’m one helluva biker with a taste for torture, but I’m an even better daddy…
Jared
Ten Years Ago…
“I’ll think about it,” I tell my brother. “I’m swamped, though, with the—”
“I haven’t seen your scrawny ass in a year,” Jeremy growls. “A whole goddamn year.”
Again with the guilt trip.
“It’s just this contract I have with the NSA. It’s huge. I can’t up and leave to eat fucking turkey with you because you miss me.”
His heavy sigh rattles through the speakers of my Escalade. “You missed last Thanksgiving.”
“Did you call me to pout because I already have enough of that going on with Blaire right now?”
“No shit? What now?”
“D.C. class trip she insists on going on.”
“Long way from Houston,” he says with a whistle. “She’d actually have to leave the bubble.”
“Which is exactly why I said no.”
“And what did Ellie have to say?”
“That I’m being an overbearing asshole and if I don’t let Blaire leave the nest some, she’ll leave me for good.” I rub at the back of my neck as I pull in front of the gate of my massive house. “She’s seventeen, for fuck’s sake. I have a death grip on her at least until May when she graduates.”
Jeremy chuckles. “It’s a class trip, Jared…”
“With boys,” I snarl.
“And now we get to the crux of the matter. Boys. One day some fool is going to deflower your daughter. You know this, right? She can’t die a virgin.”
