Death's Deal

 I need his help. The memory of him haunts me. I see his heated gaze, I feel his hungry kisses, I feel his tender caresses when I'm reminded of a time when I deserved his love. Bennett loved so hard that I felt it to my core. Until I betrayed him. With the looming danger of the Mano cartel, I need protection and Bennett is the only one I know who will fight for me. He has no reason to help, but I'm out of options. There's no one I trust more to keep me safe. Being near him again after all this time I know it'll be dangerous and I'll have to do everything I can to keep my heart safe from being broken once more. As a teenager he was beautiful, now, he's the tattooed -- strong bodied -- with a steely gaze biker that sees right through me to my soul uncovering the lies I kept from him. If I'm not careful will he be the death of me?    Locked up for a crime I didn't commit, my life took a turn when I was betrayed by her. They call me Death. I'm the President of the Hades Army MC. I was hardened by jail as a teenager all because she lied to protect her family.  Antonia Morriso. The deceitful, backstabbing daughter of the mayor of Los Angeles. The last time I saw her changed my life. Back then, I had a plan for my future as a football star, a future where I expected her by my side. Today I'm no longer that damaged kid. I do as I want, when I want. Being informed that Antonia requires a protection detail I agree reluctantly with conditions. Will it be a mistake I'll regret? Can I avoid the pull of our history? Can I do the job asked of me and nothing more? Will my hardened soul soften to seeing her again?  Best read in order (Broken Bows and SoCal Soulless MC stories): RookKingPawn QueenKnightGambitBishop's PlayMerry F'n XmasDeath's Deal
