Book Description:

Years on the run taught me fate always catches up. And that’s what happened when Sage Jackson found me.

My destiny. My keeper. My father’s enforcer.

Sage owes the club a favor, and now that I’m back, it’s his time to pay up. My freedom for his. A task he’s happy to accept when I’m the reason his father is dead.

Sage swears to protect me.

To guard me.

To keep his hands off me.

He thinks showing me his dark side will make breaking the rules easier to resist.

But the truth is, he isn’t the only one with scars and secrets. And I prefer being at the mercy of a beast over the boredom of dating a prince.

BWBH Review: 

Sage has watched over Lyla since she was thirteen. When Lyla turns eighteen, the stars align, bringing them together against the orders of her father and his MC Prez. 

Sage and Lyla are a couple you want to see get their HEA. When the world seems against them, Sage and Lyla find their way back to one another—it’s their destiny.

The story is told in three different time periods. I would have liked to read more about the eight-year gap after Lyla left Sage.

Cold Hard Truth is perfect for readers who enjoy a morally grey biker boy, a strong, independent FMC, and a romance destined to happen against the odds.
