They were the five boys who promised to protect me. Then they let my father sell me to a monster. At sixteen, Rowan Vance was ripped from the only family she'd ever known—the Phoenix Rebels MC—and handed to a cult that branded her, broke her, and married her off to its golden prince. Five years later, she's a ghost in a Nebraska diner, scarred under her uniform, flinching at every bell on the door. Until they walk in. Zephyr, the President who once held her hand on the back of his bike. Maverick, the VP who used to braid her hair. Seok, the hacker who drew constellations on her arm with a Sharpie. Griffin, the fighter who left to chase a title and never came home. And Cassius—her stepbrother, the one who put her in her father's car and never asked where she was going. They drag her back to California convinced she chose to leave them. She lets them believe it. Because the truth—the brand under her shirt, the husband still hunting her, the cult that owns her name on paper—is worse than their hatred. But scars don't lie. And when five obsessed bikers realize what was done to their girl, they don't fall to their knees to apologize. They sharpen their knives. She came back to die quietly. They're going to make her live—all five of them, at once, forever—and burn the men who broke her down to ash. The only question left is whether Rowan will let them pull the trigger… or do it herself.
