The Stars Are Dying - Chloe C. Penaranda

I lost her once.
Claiming her now could cost me my patch… and my life.

I’m the MC’s sergeant-at-arms. An ex-Marine. A man with filthy desires.

Leeva was my best friend. Too innocent for the things I wanted to do to her. My bastard brother’s old lady. And forbidden by club law.

Years ago, when he broke her, she ran. The secrets I kept—especially how much I loved her—only fueled her betrayal and pain.

Losing her was my punishment. I lived in damnation for over a decade.

Now she’s back, and there’s no proof his mark was ever on her skin. This is a loophole in our club law, and one I’ll exploit.

It won’t erase my betrayal. It won’t stop the vote.

My club could sentence me to death.

But I’m past the point of no return.

Because losing her a second time? I’d never survive that anyway.
