She kept my blood from me. Now she's going to give me everything

Phantom

Twenty-one years ago, I let Marlena Hutchins walk away.

She was eighteen. I was twice her age, drowning in divorce and club business. I convinced myself pushing her out of Sharp was the right thing to do.

Turns out she left pregnant with my kid.

A daughter I've never met. Twenty years of birthdays, first days of school, graduations—gone. Stolen by the woman who just walked back into my life like those two decades don't matter.

Now Marlena's back in Sharp. Back in my bed. And pregnant again.

My ex-wife wants her dead. My daughters want answers. And my secret daughter—Presley—is coming home for the summer, ready to meet the father who abandoned her.

Except I didn't abandon anyone. I didn't even know she existed.

Marlena kept that from me. Lied for twenty years.

I should throw her to the wolves. Let my psychotic ex have her revenge. Let Marlena face the consequences of hiding my blood from me.

But she's carrying my child.

My land. My bed. My rules.

She's not running this time. I'm keeping her at lockdown at the ranch where I can watch every breath, every move, every tear. Where she'll learn that the Shotgun Saints' President doesn't forgive betrayal.

I collect debts, and Marlena owes me twenty years.

I'm collecting in the only currency that matters—her complete and total surrender

She wanted to keep secrets? Now she gets to live with a man who buries them six feet deep.

Welcome home, Marlena.

You're never leaving again.
