Slender

ELLIE

Being Rusty's sister is a curse I can't seem to shake. He systematically broke me until I was nothing but a fragmented mess, bearing no resemblance to the woman I used to be, my pieces scattered far and wide.

Depending on the Club's protection from my brother, brings me face to face with my nemesis. The hot, sexy biker I used to love more than anything.

I'm too broken, too damned to accept anything other than his protection. He wants me back, but how can I trust anyone, especially him, and even worse, myself?

Slender goes through hell to protect me. I owe him a great debt. He is my knight in shining armour, yet I struggle to be close to him without switching off. Therapy seems the only option to find my way back to myself and to him.

When my world finally shatters, will I be able to put the pieces back together and allow him in? Will I be able to love him fully, the way he deserves and come back to myself?

SLENDER

As the Sergeant at Arms of the Stormy Souls MC, I live for my club and chosen family. Keeping them safe is always first and foremost on my mind, even when it involves one of our own . I have no interest in women. There's only ever been one woman for me, and when she left, she shattered my heart. I decided, it's easier not to let any woman in.

It's easier this way.

Fate has other ideas, though. When Ellie needs the club's protection, it's wholeheartedly given. The first time we meet after years of absence, I hate that my feelings for her are just the same as all those years ago. I want to kill who hurt her and be her dark knight in shining armor.

Will I be able to be the man she needs, or is my jaded soul gonna be my stumbling block?
