**(BOOK TWO)**
**CLAIMED BY THE VP: DEVIL'S REACH MC**
Fifteen years. No ring. No future. No answer to the question she had stopped asking out loud.
I knew Cassidy was waiting. I told myself I had time.
I was wrong.
I'm Dane Mercer. VP of Devil's Reach MC. I run the club. I protect the compound. I handle everything that needs handling without being asked.
But I couldn't handle the look on Cassidy's face when she finally told me everything she'd been carrying for fifteen years.
She gave me her time. Her patience. Her silence on the things that hurt the most.
Now she wants something back.
A real life. A real future. A real answer.
I have a choice to make.
And Cassidy has finally run out of time to wait for me to make it.
