Just released!
Love. Lust. Loyalty.
I’m blown away by how good this book is! There are characters I hated from the start, like Reisyn, and others that I initially thought were sweet and fell into the book boyfriend category, like Adam. Then there are characters who surprised me, such as Kai and Markus. The female lead feels raw and real, with insecurities that are front and center, along with a lot of underlying pain and trauma.
I loved the Bible Belt aspect and how it shaped all the characters. This book made me laugh, cry, feel rage, and ultimately find hope.
Five years ago, they were my everything.
Kai, Adam, Reis, and Markus. They were my protectors, my best friends, my forbidden fantasies.
We were inseparable...until a lie I was forced to tell shattered everything. They disappeared overnight, leaving me to pick up the pieces without them ever knowing why.
Now they're back; bigger, broodier, untouchable.
Rock legends who command sold-out arenas.
The same boys who once held my heart now act like they want to crush it.
But instead of letting me go, they're holding on even tighter.
They think I betrayed them.
They treat me like a villain.
But I know the truth, and I'm done staying silent.
The harder they push, the more I push back. Beneath the bruised egos and bitterness, something fierce still burns between us all.
Lust.
Loyalty.
Love.
Maybe even something worth fighting for.
The road to forgiveness won't be easy.
But isn't that how all great love songs begin?

This book hits so many tropes in the best way: found family, protective MMC, age gap, emotional healing, and yes—Zaddy Asher is giving full-on “Daddy” vibes. His gentleness and fierce loyalty are perfectly balanced, making him an unforgettable character. The tattoo parlor backdrop adds a gritty, modern touch that grounds the story. With a pacing that keeps your heart racing and emotions raw, this story doesn’t just tell a love story—it shows the power of safe love, of healing in the arms of someone who sees all your broken parts and stays anyway.
He was born to protect. She was taught to obey. But when their worlds collide, nothing will ever be the same.
Asher has always been the shield for the people he loves—his family, his friends, anyone in need. So when he finds Jade at a frat party, vulnerable and alone, stepping in isn’t a choice. It’s instinct. She doesn’t need a boyfriend, just someone to look out for her. And that’s exactly what he becomes. Until the lines blur. Until friendship isn’t enough. Until she’s his.
Jade has spent her entire life walking on eggshells, trying to please a mother who only cares about appearances. When she’s forced into a party she never wanted to attend, one night changes everything. The next morning, she wakes up feeling lost, broken—until she realizes someone was watching over her. Asher. The dark, tattooed stranger who makes her feel safe for the first time in her life.
With Asher, she finds strength she never knew she had. With Jade, he finds a love he never expected. But when secrets come to light and betrayal cuts deep, will their love be enough to survive the fallout? Or will the past destroy them both?

“This was an amazing read. It had just the right amount of of spice and danger. Love a second chance romance.”
“Okay.. I am absolutely OBSESSED with this book! The sassiness of Auggie and the grumpiness of Trent, the perfect combo! Both with troubled past, both struggling to fight their own dem0ns, finding each other in their own darkness, and being each other’s rock.. love it all!”
“This was a great mafia romance read that had me wanting more from the first page! I loved Mila’s character and how BA she was. But she was also able to be vulnerable with Cillian and he was able to understand her past.
The spice also deserves its own shout out because hot dang!!! Alina did an amazing job with this one and I highly recommend it!”
“…oh my goodness! Of all the Men of the Clan Bryan is my favourite! He’s quiet, sensitive and feels much more deeply than you think and he yearns for the love that all of his Clan brothers found. And once he finds it (I’m not giving spoilers) he is 100% all in! And he’s SO funny!”
