Aiden…
I hate secrets. They ruin people’s lives and end relationships. Too bad I
picked a job that’s full of clients with skeletons in their closet. None of
that bothers me because I can compartmentalize. Keep the required boundaries in
tact. Until she shows up on my doorstep.
She’s the one person that can make me forget the rules of the
brotherhood. The only person I would even consider doing that for. Problem is,
she has one secret that’s a game changer. And it’s one I’m not sure I can
forgive.
Scarlett…
I can take care of myself. Or so I thought. I never expected to need his
protection again, but that doesn’t change the facts. I do need him, more than I
ever have before. But when he finds out my secret, will he still be willing to
protect me?
I fell in love with him the first time I met him, and despite walking
away and staying gone for four years, my feelings haven’t changed. Nor has the
explosive chemistry between us. I’m just not sure he feels the same or if I’m
just another client.
The Broken Rebel Brotherhood series consists of three
complete stories with guaranteed HEA’s. All three books can be read as a
standalone. Each book contains subject matter that some may find disturbing.
Reader discretion is advised.

Excerpt
“Aiden,” Miss Slater repeated. “Do you know a Miss Scarlett
Runyon?”
My whole body tensed at the name. “What’s this about?”
“Please, answer the question Mr… Aiden.” Miss Slater’s voice
was tinged with frustration.
“Yes, I know her.” Images of Scarlett filtered into my
brain. “At least, I did.” I hadn’t seen or spoken to her in four years. There
was that one text, but other than that, radio silence. I’d spent a lot of that
time trying to find her. I told myself—and the other members of the BRB—that it
was because I wanted to protect her, but that had been a bald-faced lie. What
time I hadn’t spent trying to locate her, I’d spent trying to fuck her memory
away.
“I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but Miss Runyon was
admitted several hours ago and is currently in emergency surgery.” Her words
settled in my gut like a lead weight.
“Emergency surgery? What the hell happened?”
“I think it would be best if you came to the hospital to
discuss the particulars. Are you able to come in?” The way she said that, it
was like she was keeping something from me. Something important.
“Uh, yeah.” My hand absently threaded through my hair. I
mentally calculated how long it would take me to get there and then added
twenty minutes to give me time to shower and wash away last night’s debauchery.
“I can be there in an hour.”
“Thank you, Mr. Winters.” I couldn’t have corrected her even
if I’d wanted to. So many scenarios played out in my mind, none of them good.
“When you arrive, please let the front desk know you’re here and they’ll page
me.”
“Got it.”
“See you soon, Mr. Winters.” With that, she hung up.
I stuck my phone out in front of me and stared at the screen
for a moment. After several seconds, I shook my head, as if to shake the
answers loose to the million questions I had.
When the haze of confusion lifted, I grabbed clothes from my
dresser and went to shower. I let myself linger under the spray a little longer
than necessary, trying to get my swirling thoughts under control. It didn’t
work.
As I drove Calypso, my bike, to the hospital, all of my
questions resurfaced.
Why did Scarlett need emergency surgery?
Why was she back in Indiana?
Where had she been the last four years?
And more importantly…
Why the fuck was the hospital calling me?
