Prologue
Sara
Drag Creek, Kentucky
“You can’t possibly be okay with any of this!” My mother screams at my father. Hell, I am sure the whole state can hear her.
He pinches the bridge of his nose. “There was no other choice.”
“There’s always a choice, Nash. You want our daughter to drop out of school and raise a baby with that man. And he’s a man, Nash. He’s too old for her. I can’t. I won’t accept this.” I knew yesterday when she said she would accept Danny and Cain Thomas it was too good to be true.
Danny hugs my back to his chest as we listen from the front porch of my Grandpa, Grim’s house. “I’m sorry about all of this. If I had never talked to you…”
“Hey.” I twist around to face him. “I chose to get in the truck with you. I chose to be with you. I chose you and I’d choose you again.”
His mouth comes down on mine and I open to him completely. Danny brings out the best in me. With him is where I am meant to be. His soul calls to mine as if they are old friends.
He is mine and I am his.
I won’t stop fighting to be with him. Cain Thomas needs us.
He doesn’t have anyone else.
“It won’t happen. I won’t sign the papers.”
“It’s already happening, Karly. You can hate it all you want to, but legally that little boy sleeping in there is our grandson. If you don’t get on board with this you could lose Sara forever,” my father warns.
“I’ve heard enough out of both of ye,” I hear Grim’s loud voice boom. “We did what we had to. Sara did what she had to because she knew what was on the line. You may have been off in California living your fancy little life where everything was fuckin’ perfect and your shit didn’t stink, but you aren’t in Cali-fuckin-fornia. You’re in my house. Sara will go with Danny to Webb Hollow as soon as they are married. He has to be there to get a handle on his club. He don’t need to be here pussy footin’ and sucking your asshole to prove himself, Goddamnit. Now ye either plan your daughter a fittin’ weddin’ or shut the fuck up.”
Danny’s eyes widen at the same time as mine because Cain is wailing from his bassinet.
“I don’t want to go in there,” I admit
Danny grabs my hand. “We’ll do it like we’ll do everything…together.”
I smile. “Together.”
Chapter 1
Sara
“You sure you’re ready for this?”
“What?” Danny’s dark brows knit together. “Marrying you?”
“Well…not only that but doing the wedding in Drag Creek? I know things haven’t been easy with the tension between the Devils and the Black Rebels. Is bringing the clubs together right now a good idea?”
His good hand reaches out for mine and he tugs me toward him until I fall into his lap. It is a long story, but Danny lost his hand when the homemade bomb he made detonated in his grasp.
Danny’s arm snakes around my waist as those torturous lips brush over my temple. “Baby, you know I would love nothing more than to avoid this whole meeting between the two clubs, but I know you. I know you want your family around no matter what you say.”
Letting out an annoyed huff, I know he’s right.
I passed my GED, that was my mom’s main stipulation for this wedding. She still isn’t thrilled with the choices I have made but she loves CT. Cain Thomas. He’s really Danny’s nephew, the son of his dead sister, Harper and equally dead brother-in-law, Marek.
