Overview
I thought I had left the darkness behind me, the kind of darkness that comes with being part of a motorcycle club. I had a beautiful woman by my side, a degree to show for my hard work, and a future that looked bright.
But when tragedy struck and I lost someone I loved, I knew I had been fooling myself. The truth was that I could never escape my past, the outlaw blood running through my veins, and the poetry in my heart that only came alive in the midst of chaos.
As I picked up the pieces of my shattered life, I knew that I had to embrace my true identity and lead my brothers in the Fallen MC with the honor and ruthlessness they deserved. I only hoped that my woman would stand by me, even as I led her into a world of violence, bloodshed, and heartbreak.
After the fall, I knew that I was destined to wear the tarnished crown of a king, even if it meant losing everything I held dear. *After the Fall can be read as a standalone novel, but you first meet the couple in Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men, #1)*
