  Prologue

  Not everyone finds that one thing that drives them to get up in the morning or makes their life worth living, but I’d been one of the lucky ones. I’d found that and more when I became a brother of Satan’s Fury. I’d only been a member of the Washington chapter for a couple of months when my president, Saul, came to me with the opportunity to help Gus, a fellow brother, start up a new charter in Memphis, Tennessee. I was just a kid and didn’t have a clue about much of anything, let alone how to get a club off the ground, but even back then, I knew there was something extraordinary about my future president. As our sergeant-at-arms, Gus had shown that he was a natural leader, so after agreeing to tag along, I’d done everything I could to help him and my other brothers make Satan’s Fury the club it is today.

  I’d never regretted that choice—not once. In fact, I believe it was the best decision I’d ever made. For the past twenty-five years, I’d had everything a man could want: money, women, adventure, and peril, all while having my brothers at my side. There was just one thing I was missing—an ol’ lady. Sure, I’d had plenty of women over the years. Hell, there’s been more than I could count, but try as I might, none of them lasted.

  I wasn’t giving up, though. I knew that sooner or later, the right woman would come along. I just never dreamed that woman would be Hyde’s sister and that she’d be broken in ways I couldn’t imagine.

  T-Bone

  The brothers of Fury knew how to throw a hell of a party. It didn’t matter what we were celebrating; there was always plenty of booze, loud music, and hot women. However, nothing compared to the parties when a prospect patched into the club. Those were always the best—not just for our new brother, but for all the club members. For us, it meant Satan’s Fury was growing, prospering the way Gus and the rest of us had always hoped it would, and for a prospect, it meant all his hard work had finally paid off.

  Being a prospect was never easy. It was a year or more of busting his ass and doing whatever it took—from a late-night rescue to a clean up after a club party—just to prove himself worthy of wearing the club’s colors on his back. It wasn’t for anyone who lacked courage, especially when prospecting for Satan’s Fury, but just as Gus knew he would, Hyde had proven time and time again that he could handle whatever we threw his way.

  I’ll admit, at first I had my doubts that he’d actually pull it off. The kid had been all kinds of green when he first showed up at the clubhouse’s doorstep. Even though his uncle, Viper, was the president of the Ruthless Sinners in Nashville, he didn’t know much about what went into prospecting or working in a garage, but I had to give it to him, he was determined. Hyde never once gave up and even managed to complete his final task as a prospect without so much as a snag.

  There was no doubt that he’d get the job done, so we called everyone to the clubhouse to celebrate his success. I was sitting at the bar with Blaze and Riggs, two of my fellow brothers, and we all watched in silence as Gus presented him with his Satan’s Fury cut. As Hyde slipped it on, a proud smile crossed his face. Blaze looked over to me and said, “You remember the day you were patched in?”

  “Hell, yeah. Might’ve been twenty-five years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday. You?”

  “The same. No better feeling than putting on that cut for the first time.”

  “No doubt.”

  Blaze glanced over at Hyde. “I would’ve given anything to see his face when he walked into his garage and found his
bike like that.”

  “Had to be one hell of a surprise.” Riggs snickered. “Don’t know what I’d think if I found my Harley completely disassembled like that.”

  “Still don’t know how they didn’t hear us, especially with Duchess around.”

  Hyde’s dog, Duchess, was a Rottweiler-Great Dane mix that his ol’ lady, Landry, accidentally hit with her car on the way home from work. He and Landry had actually met when Hyde stopped to help her get the dog to the vet. Even though she was normally a well-behaved, easy-going dog, I’d worried about her barking while we were working on Hyde’s bike, so I brought along some preventative measures. I turned to Blaze and smiled. “Like all women, she just needed the right distraction.”

  “Yeah.” Blaze chuckled. “Guess you were right about bringing those rib bones along.”

  “What can I say?” I shrugged. “I know how to please the ladies.”

  “You know how to please a mutt. Not sure I’d say the same for the rest of the female population,” Blaze poked. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t be sitting here without an ol’ lady by your side.”

  “Fuck you, man.” I glanced around the room at the crowd. The place was fucking packed with all the brothers and their women. Even Hyde’s uncle, Viper, and several of his Ruthless Sinners’ brothers were there to join the celebration. “I can get a chick anytime I want.”

  “Oh, yeah?” Blaze cocked his eyebrow with skepticism. “Prove it.”

  “All right then, I will, and when I do, I won’t be hooking up with some skank twat that’s been passed around more than a bottle of fucking Crown. I’m gonna find me a real classy chick who knows a good man when she sees him.” He didn’t reply. Instead, he just sat there staring at me with that fucking cocked eyebrow. “What?”

  “Just wondering what the fuck you’re waiting for.” He motioned his hand out to the crowd. “You know what they say ... there’s no time like the present.”

  I knew he was just fucking around, but he’d laid down a challenge and there was no way I could pass it up. I picked up my beer and quickly finished it off before I stood up and said, “Fine, I’ll show your ass what’s what.”

  “Mm-hmm, I’m sure you will.”

  Ignoring his last jab, I started walking towards the thick of people. I hadn’t gotten far when I noticed Hyde talking to his mom and younger sister, Alyssa. They were both busy congratulating him on getting his cut when I noticed Alyssa looking in my direction. As soon as Hyde noticed that she was looking at me, a menacing look crossed his face. His reaction gave me a thought, and I found myself smiling as I continued walking towards them. Hyde was a good guy, too good at times, and that made it way too easy to fuck with him. I figured there was no better way than to let him believe I was making a play for his sister.

  I’d just made my way over to them when I overheard Clay growling at Alyssa, “That’s not going to happen.”

  Throwing his words back at him, I asked, “What’s ‘not gonna happen’?”

  There was something about the surprised look on my brother’s face that made me wonder if he’d been talking about me when he said those words to his sister. Feeling the tension radiating off her brother, Alyssa’s eyes dropped to the floor. In almost a whisper, she replied, “Nothing. Clay is just being Clay.”

  Hyde gave her a disapproving look. “Oh, really?”

  I could tell by his expression that my suspicions were correct. I knew he’d never admit it, but there was no doubt he’d been talking about me. Alyssa reminded me of a young Rachel McAdams with her delicious curves and long blonde hair. She had dark soulful eyes that made me wonder what secrets she was hiding beneath them. It didn’t matter. It was obvious just by looking at her, the girl was out of my league. She was young and beautiful with the world at her fingertips, and I found it doubtful that she’d give me—a bald-headed biker, more than twice her age and three times her size—a second thought. That was fine with me. I had no intention of actually making a play for her, but Hyde didn’t know that. “Why don’t you let me get you a drink, and you can tell me all about it?”

  Her eyes skirted over to me, and with a bashful smile, she simply answered, “Okay.”

  She gave Hyde a quick shrug, then followed me back over to the bar. We sat down on two empty stools at the end of the counter, and I motioned over to Jasmine, the bartender for the night, to grab us both a couple of beers. After she brought them over, I offered one to Alyssa and asked, “You having a good time?”

  “I am ... much better than I expected.”

  “You weren’t expecting to have a good time?”

  “Not really.” Concern crossed her face as she said, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad Clay is happy and I wanted to be here for him, but parties really aren’t my thing.”

  “Oh, really? Why’s that?”

  Alyssa took a long drink of her beer before answering, “I just have my reasons.”

  “Maybe you can share those reasons with me someday.”

  “Maybe.” A slight smile slowly crept over her face as she looked at me for a moment, then quickly glanced over her shoulder at a couple of the brothers playing pool. “You been a member for long?”

  “Yeah, you could say that.”

  The tiny freckles across her nose crinkled as she studied her brother. After several moments, she turned her attention back to me. “You like it here?”

  “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t,” I said, then continued. “Becoming a brother was the best decision I ever made, and if I had to guess, I’d bet your brother would say the same.”

  “I think you’re right. I can’t remember the last time I’d seen him look so happy.”

  “He’s found his place. Not many out there can say that.” Alyssa’s dark eyes met mine when I asked, “What about you?”

  “I’m working on it.” She gave me a small shrug. “I’m actually moving here in a couple of weeks.”

  “Here ... as in Memphis?”

  “Yeah. I applied for a culinary internship at Chez Philippe at the Peabody. I never dreamed that they’d actually consider taking me on, but I was accepted into their program.”

  “Culinary? You a chef or something?”

  “I’m aspiring to be—someday anyway.” I could hear the hope in her voice as she added, “If this internship goes well, they might offer me a permanent position.”

  “That’s awesome. I’m sure you’ll do great.”

  “I hope so. I’ve dreamed of being a chef since I was a little kid.” Her face lit up as she went on, “Growing up, I was always making up all these wild concoctions for Mom and Clay to try.”

  “That must have been awesome. I’m sure they loved seeing what you’d come up with.”

  “I don’t know about that. Some of them were pretty awful, but others weren’t so bad.”

  “Maybe once you’re here and settled, you could let me try out one of your concoctions. I could be your test critic for new recipes or something.”

  “I’d like that.” She let out a heavy sigh. “I’ve just got to get moved first. I’m supposed to start working in two weeks, and I haven’t even found a place yet.”

  “What kind of place are you looking for?”

  “I’m not really picky.” She shrugged. “Maybe an apartment or a small house that’s in a safe neighborhood.”

  “I might be able to help you out with that.”

  “Really?”

  “Yeah. I’ll make a few calls and see what I can come up with.”

  “That would be incredible. Thank you so much.”

  “No problem.”

  We continued on with our small talk, and I was surprised that Alyssa was so easy to get along with. It felt like we were old friends, sharing stories about this and that, and I genuinely enjoyed getting to know her better. That was the very reason why I suggested that we go outside and continue our conversation without having to shout over the loud music. When she agreed, I grabbed us another round of drinks, and then she followed me out to one of the picnic
tables next to the bonfire.

  We’d been talking for a while when a smile crossed Alyssa’s face. “So, tell me, what’s your story, T-Bone?”

  “My story?” I scoffed. “I don’t know. Not much to say … Besides, I doubt you’d be interested.”

  “I’m sure there’s plenty.” When Alyssa smiled, it got me right in the gut. Her full pink lips curled into a bashful smile as she looked me right in the eye. “Anyway, I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t interested in hearing it.”

  “In hopes of keeping you from dozing off, I’ll give ya the basics.” I took a drink of my beer as I settled into my seat. “I was raised in Washington with my folks and younger brother. Pretty simple life growing up, but it was a good one. Had two parents who did what they could to give my brother and me a roof over our heads and food on the table. When I turned eighteen, I ventured out to make a life of my own, and that’s when I met Saul and some of the other brothers of Satan’s Fury.”

  I went on to explain how I ended up prospecting for the Washington chapter only to end up coming to Memphis with Gus to set up the club here. I didn’t go into any great detail. Just gave her enough to understand that a lot of work went into getting things the way they are today. When I was done, she took a moment to mull over everything, then said, “You never mentioned a girlfriend or a wife.”

  “That’s because I don’t have one.” I wasn’t sure if she was just curious about my relationship status or because she was actually interested in me. As I sat there gazing at her, I had no doubt that I could fall head-over-fucking-heels for her. Hell, any man would. Alyssa was smart, beautiful, and easy to talk to, but there were simply too many variables that stood in our way. Not only was she Hyde’s sister, she was simply too young. Even so, I was enjoying my time with her and wasn’t ready for it to end. I smiled at her and said, “Don’t get me wrong, there’ve been plenty of women in my life, but none who really made a lasting impression.”
