Lola learned eight years ago that sometimes survival means leaving everything behind.
She fled El Paso after her drunken stepfather, Octavio Lopez, crossed a line he could never take back—and after her mother chose to stay with him anyway. Since then, Lola has built a new life in Nowhere, New Mexico, surrounded by the Son’s of Doom MC, the women of the Devil’s Den, and the family she found for herself.
Including Emilio.
As Vice President of the Son’s of Doom, Emilio is dangerous, infuriating, and impossible to ignore. For years, he and Lola have fought, flirted, and fallen into bed together whenever the tension became too much.
Sex was easy.
Feelings were never supposed to be part of the deal.
But when Lola’s mother dies and Octavio appears at the funeral after eight years, half drunk and just as cruel as she remembers, Emilio stops pretending Lola is only someone he sleeps with.
One insult makes him throw the first punch.
One confession changes everything.
Maybe you not being mine is the fucking problem.
Lola knows sleeping with Emilio is one thing. Loving him could cost her far more. He isn’t some man she can walk away from if things fall apart. He is family, Max’s vice president, and woven into every part of the life she fought to build.
But Octavio didn’t come back into her life alone.
He has gang ties, knows far too much about the Son’s of Doom, and may be more dangerous than Lola ever realized.
She escaped him once.
This time, Emilio has no intention of letting her face him alone.
