A past so dark, and she can't run from it.

Amelia is doing her best to stay alive.

Her world is dark; it's tainted.

It holds nothing but bones and blood--carnage.

A club struggling, a family he can barely breathe around.

All Cole has known is the club. He lives it, breathes it.

He knows the kind of darkness that lies in a man's soul when he wears that cut.

Cole thinks he's seen it all, but when he finds Amelia bloody and unconcious, he hasn't even begun to see the worst.

He'll burn the world down to the ground for her--to hell with the consequences.

Someone wants to send a message, but Amelia's not opening her mouth.

She'll die before she tarnishes this club, before she drags Cole into her darkness.

But when everyone is turning against her and Cole is the only person she can rely on, she may not have a choice.

Because these people aren't going to kill her . . .

They're going to break her.
