[Sons of Judah MC 03] • Chance

Stacy is standing at the crossroads, one leads her back to the world she knew and the other to a future that is everything but certain.

The gloves are off now between Ned and Marco, and each man has drawn his line in the sand. Stacy faces the greatest dilemma of her life: Ned or Marco—a choice between a familiar lie and a passionate ride to the unknown.

Marco stands to lose a hell of a lot more than just Stacy.

The Sons of Judah finds themselves reeling from loss after loss as Ned uses his considerable influence and money to strike them where it hurts. Marco knows that to save the club, he has to give up Stacy, has to admit defeat and watch as she drifts back to a man who cares more about his image than the woman in his life.

Where there is love, there is life.

Will Marco and Stacy find their way through this mess, or will Ned triumph? Can their hearts survive being put on the firing line, or will they crash in a spectacular wreck? Is love truly able to conquer all or will it lose out to unyielding hate and jealousy?

**EXCERPT**

She studied him. He wasn’t scared—neither was she. But she was still a little pissed at what he did. Stacy sat on the couch. He walked over, and rather than sit next to her, he sat on his knees on the rug. His hands snuck forward and grabbed hers. “Please, Stacy. Give me one more chance. I promise I won’t disappoint you this time.”

Maybe it was time to be really honest. She was really taking a chance here, but somehow it felt like the right thing to do. “I was…devastated to hear what Ned had to say.”

He kissed her fingers. The brief touch made her tingle with need. “I know, and I promise I won’t ever make a mistake like that again. I should have told you everything before Ned had a chance to interfere in our lives.”

“You allowed him to push us around,” she accused.

“He…I had to do it for my friends.”

“So you chose them over me?”

“I wouldn’t ever choose anyone over you. You’re the most important person in my life right now, and you will remain so for as long as I live. I love you like I have loved no one before, but…I owed them something, and it was supposed to be a deception and not a breakup.”

She wasn’t a hundred percent sure, but she was leaning in his favor. “And if Ned asks you to leave me?”

“I’ll tell him to go to hell,” he said with passion.

It was all she wanted to hear. Stacy bent her head and kissed him. It had been far too long since she felt his lips under him. They were as soft and warm as she remembered. Her tongue dove in to taste his mouth, and she ran it over his gums and the nooks and crannies of his mouth. The need that sizzled in her veins was strong, powerful.
