Description
My name is Aspen Stryker, known to my friends as Taz. I am the only daughter of Vaughn Stryker, the former president of the Devil Dawgs MC. In his eyes, I'm the princess of his world, and he believes I can do nothing wrong. When I was just sixteen, a man tried to kidnap me to get to my dad, but I was saved by someone I secretly admired. His bravery not only protected me but also deepened my feelings for him. Witnessing him take a life to protect me forever altered my perception of him. He should have terrified me, being a killer, yet it only intensified my desire for him. He's my brother's best friend—dangerous, arrogant, and brash but undeniably captivating. With tattoos that tell a story, shaggy blonde hair, piercing turquoise eyes, and an impressive physique, many cower in his presence, but I'm not one of them. Instead, I'm irresistibly drawn to his intensity and complexity.As I matured, my desire to be part of club life grew stronger, yet the expectations restricted me because of my gender. I decided to join the military to show my dad and brother, both retired Marines, that I could stand on my own and was more than just their cherished princess. While I deeply care for my family, their protectiveness can be stifling. It was essential for me to discover my own identity beyond the confines of my family's influence.After serving for eighteen years, I am finally coming home for good, and my four amazing friends have decided to join me. My girls call me Taz because I change entirely when we're on a mission. Usually, I am laid-back, quiet, and observant, but when it's time to work, I turn into the Tasmanian Devil. We trained to be assassins. Killing people doesn't bother me. It's in my blood. It's easier when they are enemies. Jett is about to discover that I am no longer a shy teenager. I have become a heartless, badass woman. I grew up around the motorcycle club and learned from the best.The past is creeping back, ready to haunt us all. We've been betrayed by someone we trusted—an enemy lurking within the motorcycle club, hiding in the shadows, and we never saw it coming. My dad believes I need his protection simply because I'm a woman, but what I really need are my girls by my side. We are more than capable of tackling this challenge ourselves. My brother, the president of the Devil Dawgs, insists I stay with him again, but I can't endure that situation a second time. The last time we were together, everything changed. Our heated arguments can be fierce, yet an undeniable chemistry pulls me closer. Repercussions are coming for all of us. The Devil Dawgs and my family are about to discover exactly why my girls call me Taz. This time, I have so much more at stake than just myself.
