Malik Dawson - is better known to his brothers as Wickis, the Vice President of Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana Chapter. He lives for his club. The unity and loyalty of the brotherhood gave him a sense of purpose and belonging that he felt was missing after years of serving his country.

But all men have their demons, and Wick carries the pain and guilt of losing his childhood friend he feels he did not protect as they fought side by side in combat. Before he died, Damien made him promise to always be there for his little sister, Vayda; to look after her and protect her if something were to happen.

Following a vow made years ago, Wick watched over his fallen comrade's sister.

Then one night, he kisses her.

It should never have happened.

He became torn between his desire and his promise. Distancing himself, Wick avoids the overwhelming need to make Vayda his.

When a rescue mission is compromised, and Vayda's life is on the line, Wick holds nothing back. He sets out to find her, killing anyone in the way.

Vayda Wilder-aka-Tequila, comes from a long line of military service members: Grandfather, Father, and big brother, Damien. All her life, she dreamed of becoming a United States Air Force pilot. Chasing her dreams, Vayda enlisted straight out of high school, becoming the best soldier and pilot she could be.

A few years later, her brother's death left her devastated. Damien was Vayda's hero and the one person who she felt truly understood her.

With years of experience, Vayda started taking on secret covert missions and saving countless lives from the evil grip of human traffickers. Her assignments had her crossing paths with Malik.

One unforgettable kiss changes everything.

Vayda buried herself deep in mercenary work, hoping it would take her mind off the man she wanted until the Cartel captured her.

Fighting for his woman, Malik, and the club become Vayda's only hope of making it out alive.
