Deacon by Marteeka Karland

Apple — I gave Deacon my heart, but he said I was too young. So he left. For over a year. Didn’t want me around. Hurt and humiliated, I left for Grim Road MC. If anyone will understand my need to hide and lick my wounds for a while, it’ll be my sister Lemon. Of course, Lemon’s also a royal bitch. When I get shot, first thing she does is call Deacon — the last person I ever want to see again. Then she sicces him on the man who ordered the hit. Not sure who I’m gonna kill first — Deacon, or Lemon.

Deacon — All I ever wanted was to keep Apple safe. To protect her. Mostly from me. When my president sent me to infiltrate a trafficking ring, I gladly accepted the assignment. I thought once I was gone, Apple’d have time to grow up. Fall in love with someone her own age. Someone better. Then my enemies went after Apple. When Lemon tells me she’s been shot, her call pushes me over the edge. Now, I’m going to unleash hell. Maybe then, Apple will forgive me for pushing her away.
