Chain of Armor: Born to Defend

She was running out of time. He was the ultimate wall of defense.

Mia is running for her life. After escaping a brutal, controlling boyfriend who nearly beat her to death, she finds herself stranded in the dead of night. Barefoot, severely injured, and slipping out of consciousness, she stumbles toward the only sanctuary left on the dark highway-the gates of The Black Chain MC. When she collapses through the clubhouse doors, she falls straight into the arms of the club's deadliest protector.

Sebastian Smoke is built for violence but ruled by absolute control. As the Sergeant at Arms, he dedicates his entire life to securing the perimeter and guarding the brotherhood. He doesn't let anyone past his walls. But the moment he catches the battered, trembling woman in his arms, his fierce protective instincts turn into a dangerous obsession. Mia is under his shield now, and anyone who wants to hurt her will have to go through him.

But the ruthless war with the Mayhams has changed the rules of the game. As Smoke locks down the clubhouse to keep Mia safe, a terrifying truth begins to surface: the enemy isn't just outside the gates anymore. A rat is feeding information to the rivals, bleeding the club from the inside out. With a traitor orchestrating the moves from the shadows, Smoke faces his ultimate failure when the threat breaches their defenses. To save his club and the woman who cracked his armor, Smoke will have to hunt a ghost-before the unseen enemy destroys them all.
