Banshee's Lament: Royal Bastards MC

For more than two decades, Banshee has been riddled with guilt because his little sister was abducted right in front of him.

It doesn't matter to him that he was also a child.

It's irrelevant that the kidnapper knocked him out before he grabbed Ryleigh.

For him, the bottom line was his job, his responsibility, was watching her and the other club kids while the ol' ladies prepared food for a family day, and the club brothers had Church.

When his sister was initially found, she was going by the name the people who took her used. No one suspected she was actually a club princess, until one of the brothers, RiffRaff, said she looked like Lorelei, his deceased mother. Brick, their current president, took matters into his own hands and several weeks later, DNA confirmed she was his sister and he's spent countless hours with her, watching old home movies so they can heal from the trauma of their past. She's made it clear she bears no resentment toward him; she's loving, sweet, and kind despite the hell she endured. Still, his guilt haunts him.

While he puts on a brave face, his nights are fraught with nightmares of that day and the subsequent months that followed which eventually ended in him being an orphan. When Wrecker, a club brother from the Cedar Creek, Texas chapter calls and practically demands he come for a visit, he does, desperate to root everything out so he can get back on track.

He never expects that while he's heading home to Roanoke, Virginia via their chapter in Dallas, Texas, he would meet the woman who's going to become everything to him.

The only issue is, she doesn't trust anyone, especially those of the male persuasion.

After Rory escapes from her Hell thanks to some awesome pre-planning her grampy did, she decides to leave her home behind and take her cat, Sassy, on the road in the RV she and her grandfather rebuilt. When it breaks down leaving her stranded near Dallas and her past attempts to catch up to her, she's reluctantly forced to accept the help of a tall, tattooed biker.

She doesn't expect to feel anything; her past has numbed her completely and she figures she's too damaged to bring much to the table, especially with a man like him who is every woman's dream. But Banshee has found his forever in her, and he's determined he won't fail to save someone who he cares about ever again.
