Iron and Fire

MAL Once, I was the life of the party, the guy who could make anyone laugh with a simple quip and a devilish grin. But now, a heavy cloud hangs over me, casting a shadow that refuses to lift. It all changed the day she died. A girl caught in the crossfire of our dangerous world. She paid the ultimate price for simply being associated with our club. Since then, laughter feels hollow, and every smile is tinged with sorrow. Along came Farrah, a beacon of light in the darkness. A local realtor with a heart of gold and eyes that see through the facade I've erected around myself. She didn't judge me for my past or the ink on my skin. Instead, she saw the man beneath, flawed but still worthy of love. Then Farrah unwittingly stumbles into our world's mess. She hears things she shouldn't, becomes entangled in secrets better left buried. And when an old enemy of mine seeks revenge, targeting her to hurt me, I realize just how deep my feelings run. Now, I'll do whatever it takes to protect her, even if it means confronting the demons of my past. Because Farrah isn't just another casualty waiting to happen-she's the light that could finally chase away the darkness shrouding my soul. And I'll be damned if I let anyone take that away from me.
