Deceit.
Destruction.
Death.
Olivia Masters grew up familiar with all of them. The daughter of the President of the Nordic Lords Motorcycle Club, Olivia always knew she wanted nothing to do with any of it. Her plans were made to leave the town she grew up in as soon as she and her boyfriend, Daemon Knight, turned eighteen.
But then Olivia was shot. Her mother killed in front of her. Fleeing became her reality.
Forced to return to her hometown of Jasper Bay five years later, events beyond Olivia’s control put her directly back into the life she swore she’d never return to.
Her dad wants her back in the family. Daemon wants her in his bed.
But just as Olivia begins to accept her destiny, history finds a way to repeat itself.
This time, will Olivia be strong enough to fight for the family she once turned her back on? Or will she once again flee from the only life that has ever felt like home?

Okay, I was given an ARC for an honest review. I will say, it did take a lot to get into. I found I was lost and never connected to the reason Oliver left. Maybe if the prologue was written, and about the shooting it would have made me feel different. I don't know.
Oliver was a very confusing woman. I couldn't get a handle on her, I really couldn't. The blurb suggests Olivia returns due to events beyond her control, well I didn't know what they were because she was already back home. Maybe the author could have started with her moving back maybe?
Also the blurb mentions her dad wants her back in the family, but I never got that from the book. Yes, he mentioned she belonged with the club, but he never really made an effort with her, I didn't get that bond with them.
Then we have Olivia and Daemon's relationship, if that's what it was. I didn't get that either. Why would you want to be with someone after just watching him getting head by another woman? you wouldn't. No matter who they are. If you loved them you would never forgive that kind of betrayal, if they loved you, they'd never put you in that position. I never connected to them as a couple what-so-ever. I could never put my finger on exactly why, but then I read a review, one that hit the nail on the head.
Oliver and Daemon were never together long enough in the book for us readers to get a grip on their relationship, or feel that strong love bond between the two. I never felt like they connected other than the chemistry, and even that was put mildly.
Then we have the story line.... Parts of this were really good, and had me reading the next chapter, but it wasn't as good as I hoped it to be. The ending however has me wanting to read the next book. Olivia has a friend called faith, when Olivia moved away after the event that took her mother etc, she lost touch. Only Faith has been going through her own personal hell and with the biker club she once called family no longer protecting her, she's sold by her mother to the rival MC as an escort. I can't wait to read the next one for her story, and I pray like hell it's a happy ending.
