Sammy Braun, star goalie for the Vermont Vipers, is stuck. He's got the skill but can't seem to seal the deal—not on the ice nor with Harper, the team manager he's been crushing on. When I agreed to coach him, it wasn't just about sharpening his game. It was about helping him get his life together.

They are not strangers to tangling with Enforcers, but they never caused enough harm to warrant the attention of an Ascendant—a being to who death is simply an inconvenience. Not until a routine job on a desolate planet turned deadly, that is. Kennex never expected to meet one of these immortals. He never expected to be killed by one either.

Not bothering to look at me, the man raised his hand up and flipped me off. Your loss. I thought as I watched his hand come back down to rest on the bar.

The man yelled out furiously and gripped his, newly shortened, fingers in his other hand as he whipped himself around to face me again.

As president of the Diamondback Motorcycle Club, settling down never occurred to me. I have my club, and that’s all I needed. My mind changed with one look at the dark-haired beauty in need of help. Persephone Chapman should have been dead; the fact that she has the grit and determination to survive is exactly what I want in an old lady. It’s more than that, though.

When her past catches up with her, you better believe I’m going to shield and protect her with everything I am. Because when a Diamondback claims his old lady—it’s forever.

There’s a place deep in the mountains covered in Pine, Where all who come are looking for what’s mine. Where these good boys and girls utter all kinds of sounds, Ones I can hear deep below the ground. Where friends, strangers, child, and brother Search for an escape like none other. Where an experience or adventure is something to treasure, Wrapped up safe and cloaked with much pleasure. Where the cold, dark nights call for fires to be lit, And body heat isn’t enough to stoke the endless pit. Where ombre sunsets rival the brightest of loves, And hatchets to scare even the most innocent doves.
