Apple "Core" Drew needs The Uncertain Saints MC like he needs air. He is barely making it through the day, and each one that goes by takes him closer and closer to hell. Literally.
He's a half breath away from killing himself—maybe not by taking his own life, but he's not against making someone else do it for him. Then he meets her. One of his club member's sisters, and his whole outlook on life changes. And not for the better.
Just as surely as he ruined his life, he ruins her life, too. One lapse in judgement on his part, and his one night of happiness turns into the worst nine months of his life. Which he would've thought was damn near impossible with the things he's done and seen.
She never saw it coming . . .
It was the beard. That is a good excuse for having sex with a man she barely knows, isn't it? It was the way he looked so dejected and solemn. The sad look in his eyes pulls her in, and the way his rough hands touch her makes her stay.
All she wants to do is take that look out of his eyes, but the consequences to her actions only make things worse, not better. One day is all she gets, and he's not willing to give her more.
Until she dies, that is. Then it's too late.
