Four years after her teenage sweetheart cast her aside in the pouring rain to wed a syndicate heiress for power, Taylor returns to her southern hometown with misplaced luggage and simple clothing. Arrogant former friends assume she has crawled back in destitution, openly mocking her poverty while a cruel socialite snatches her simple ring.
None of the sneering mobsters realize Taylor honored an arranged union four years ago with Jax Logan, the northern chapter's deadliest and most feared commander. When Jax descends with armed legions to reclaim his bride's stolen jewelry, Taylor discovers his fierce loyalty began a decade ago with a simple childhood kindness.
