Her
Opportunity isn’t just knocking on my door, it’s trying to kick the damn thing down, and I’m only too eager to answer it. With the prospect of war coming from all directions, thanks to yours truly, there can only be one victor, and I have every intention of seeing myself to the other side. But a new challenge awaits me around every corner, and though my strength and endurance has gotten me this far, I don’t know if it will be enough to overcome Darren’s most destructive betrayal yet. It very well could be the final nail in my coffin, the very last one to keep me his forever.
Him
War is finally here, and I’m only too ready to indulge in its sadistic depravity. Violence could be so inspiring, especially when you have so much to fight for and protect. And I was very good at employing a particular brand of violence with an exceedingly unique form of expertise. But as scores of complications arise, I find myself shouldering more than I originally anticipated. Between keeping my family safe and my ambitions alive, the universe is working overtime in testing my patience and resilience, and a particular redhead is helping it. But I will not be deterred. My goals will be met, my legacy secured, and my fist will finally clench the heart of the one woman who thought she could keep it from me. What’s mine will always be mine.
