The Hope We Dare

Isla I wanted to be loved by a biker with my whole heart, but all they ever took was my body. Somewhere along the way, I stopped recognizing the woman I’d become. Inheriting my Nanna’s rundown house is the fresh start I need. A life away from the club. Away from men who only ever take. So the last thing I need is Jackal and Shade moving into the only other house on the street...and offering me more than just help with renovations. Shade I’ve never thought I was worth loving. I’m grumpy, withdrawn, and come with baggage. Jackal saw through all that and loved me anyway. For me, he chose monogamy. Men like me don’t get one great love, let alone two. But I’m looking at Isla differently now...and wondering if there’s a way to love her without destroying what we’ve built. Jackal I fell in love with Shade the day I met him, even though he had no intention of loving me back. He wanted monogamy, and he was worth the sacrifice. But now he’s looking at Isla the same way I am. And I can’t stop imagining a life where the three of us choose each other. Until violence hits, and we don’t know which of us is the target. We’ve been given the kind of love you only dare to hope for. And we’ll burn the world down to protect it.
