Atlas by Lily L. James

She’s my ride or die. Even if she don’t know it yet.

Willa’s my best friend—sweet, sassy, and the kinda light a bastard like me don’t deserve.

She laughs like life ain’t heavy, loves like it don’t scar, and looks at me like I ain’t a patched-up wreck.

And that scares the hell outta me. ‘Cause once you let someone in… they can walk. And I know that sting all too well.

Thing is—she ain’t just my bestie.

She’s Bullet’s ol’ lady’s little sister. Club family. Off-limits since day one.

No way I was ever supposed to cross that line.

I helped her build her dream, kept her close, but never let her see the cracks underneath my cut.

Already lost one woman when she found out I couldn’t give her a kid.

No way I’m lettin’ Willa carry that pain. She deserves more.

But damn… she makes me want everything I thought I’d buried for good.

Now she could be in danger, and all this bottled-up feelin’s about to blow.

She’s always been mine.

And I ain’t pretendin’ anymore.
