Hale Brennan came home from the war to bury his little brother. The Bastards of Ash MC put his brother in the ground and then wore his patch to the funeral like a trophy. Hale wants out of the life, but when his brother's widow turns up with a ledger of club murders and a daughter who still calls him Uncle Hale, out isn't an option. He patches back in under a false name, one gunshot from his old commanding officer, who now wears the president's diamond. Every ride is a lie. Every night is Lila's hands on his scar tissue, talking him back into a man. When the Founder's Run comes, Hale has one chance to burn the club from the inside-and one seat on his bike. He'll put Lila on the back and ride straight at the men who killed his brother. Some men don't get to be clean. Some men just get to be alive.
