Devil’s Torture

Exile was my penance. Bloodshed was my atonement. Years of missing her have been torture.

RUNE
No matter how many times my chrome beast tried to steer us back home, I gritted my teeth and stayed away. It wasn’t just because my Prez ordered it, but because the last thing I want to see is the hatred I’ll find in my woman’s eyes.

I made a choice years ago and I’d make the same one again. Protecting her, the only woman allowed to call me Miller, was all that mattered. That choice took away the only family she had left. Then the club made me run and turned me into a weapon of bloodshed, the Grim Reaper in leather.

But the other half of my soul is calling to me, begging me to come home. Roaring back through the streets of NOLA brings it all back. I’m not ready to drag the whispered secrets into the light, but I am ready to come home. Bexley might not accept me with open arms, but there’s one thing she can’t deny—she’s mine and always has been.

BEXLEY
One night took everything from me, and I still have no idea why. When the excuses rained down on me, I knew they were lies. Maybe the truth would have been harder to face, but the silence has been a worse torture than the loneliness left after the blood was washed away.

Miller didn’t leave clean when he disappeared. I’ve avoided the club for years, tired of the lies the Devil’s Saints have laid at my feet while I’ve been losing a sliver of my soul every day without Rune. The only savior I have now is our daughter, one he’ll never know. Because even if he does come back, I’m not sure I can forgive him when there are too many secrets and broken promises between us.

I should have known the day of reckoning was upon me, I felt the shift in the air and ignored it while hoping for one more day. Facing the man that I used to love makes me realize Rune lost Miller somewhere along the way while making sure to cradle my heart in the safety of his soul. I’m just not sure the hurts between us can be healed once the things never spoken aloud are forced to be examined in the light.

**18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. This book is part of the Devil’s Saints Motorcycle Club: New Orleans Chapter Series. The DSMC: NO is first mentioned in Flowers and Moonlight. You can also read about the DSMC: Seattle Chapter and Charleston; there is crossover between chapters. The DSMC is not a one percenter club, but these guys don’t always operate within the law either. DSMC books may be darker as the club is morally gray and has ties to crime families. Don’t be surprised if there is OW (other women) drama within the series either.**
