East by Nicole Abrams

Seven years ago, I promised my dying best friend I’d protect the girl he loved. Now she’s back, and I’m about to break every promise I’ve ever made.

Darla Graves is the one woman I can’t have. She’s the ghost of my past, the mayor’s daughter, and the prize in a game played by monsters. When she runs from her gilded cage and crashes back into my world, bloody and broken, the promise I made becomes a living nightmare.

Because protecting her means claiming her. And claiming her is a betrayal I can’t afford.

She thinks she’s running to a sanctuary, but the Outsiders MC is the epicenter of a war her father started. She looks at me and sees a ghost, but all I see is the woman I’ve secretly wanted for years.

Her father wants to own her. Her new fiancé wants to break her.

I just want to keep her.

And I’ll burn the whole world down to do it.
