My time in the military left me gruff, blunt, and quite frankly, not fit for regular society.

So, when Nicole is waiting outside the clubhouse gates when I get home, ready to bombard me for a potential charity fundraising event, I shut her down quick.

We're in the middle of a war. Both women attached to the club have been attacked by our rival. I won't let it happen to her, too.

Except... it does. Despite me keeping my distance, they come for her, too.

But I'm not as kind as my brothers.

Anyone who touches her has me to contend with.
