I knew where I belonged. I held onto his cut as everything that was Anathema, everything I thought was dark and dangerous, deceptive and desecrated, transformed from something to loathe into something to love. Thorne protected me, sheltered me, and healed me.
I once feared Anathema and Thorne.
But they were the reasons I was alive. The only reasons I even had a life.
They gave me courage, even with exiled brothers and an encroaching parole hearing that threatened everyone’s safety. The scarred demon shadowed everything, but it also protected. It gave me Thorne. It gave me a new life. It gave me hope.
And I never wanted to leave.
The End
Note From Lana:
The Anathema MC’s revolution is just beginning…
Coming Early 2015:
I betrayed my sister.
Betrayed my brother. The club.
I betrayed myself.
I raced my guilt, hid my shame, and lived by the undeserved mercy of the road.
Then I met her.
My second chance.
And I fucked it up again.

Acknowledgements
First off, thank you to ALL the readers out there who are starting this journey with me. You have no idea how grateful I am to those who purchased this book. I hope you love the story as much as I loved writing it. Thank you!
My husband is the most important person in the world to me—without him, I wouldn’t be able to bundle up on the couch with the laptop and write. He’s the most supportive, most loving man in the world, and he’s been taking care of everything while I get my writing done. Without him, I’d be lost, hungry, and forced to mow the grass. This book simply wasn’t possible without his encouragement.
My beta readers and writing buddies—Fiona, LC, Kelley, Abby, Amy, and Jamie—you are my front lines. You get the crazy before it’s filtered, and you’re amazing for it. My Romantica Crew and Kaylee, you guys pushed me to take the leap into self-publishing, thank you!!
My neglected friends: Ashley, Brittany, Kati, and Breann…I owe you all dinner. I know I drop off the face of the planet when I’m in the middle of a novel, but I love you all. Same for my neglected parents…though I really hope they didn’t read this book!
And finally, thank you to the people who are helping behind the scenes. Rebecca Berto, thank you so much for your beautiful cover design. And Xpresso Tours, thank you for helping organizing my tour!
Thank you all so much!!
