Synopsis
When
the woman you love is lost, how hard will you fight to get her back?
Following
the birth of her daughter, Kadence Knight finds herself in a battle
she never prepared for. With desperation and unhappiness threatening
to overwhelm her, a sense of hopelessness pulls her away from the one
thing she has always longed for: a family.
As
Nix watches his wife struggle with something he doesn't understand,
he can't help but feel disconnected to his woman. The Kadence he once
knew has drifted into the darkness. In her place is a shadow of the
woman she once was, one who is fearful of the impossible...failing
their daughter.
This
Valentine’s Day, Nix has one goal — to reclaim the woman who gave
him everything.
*Please
note this is a novella and features the characters from the previous
storyline.
The
events of Reclaimed take place after Incandescent and Affliction.
Book one and two in the Knights Rebels MC.
To
get the full advantage of the story, and character development, I
strongly suggest you read in order.
Excerpt
“I don’t know what you want from
me,” I whisper. Communication was never this hard. The distance
growing further between us as each day passes makes me afraid that
this is what we’ve become.
“I just want to bring you happiness,
baby,” he sighs, but before I can tell him I don’t think he can,
Harlow’s cries come through the monitor. I move off the bed to go
to her, knowing she will need to be fed.
“You walk out of this room, Kadence,
you walk out on me.” His cold tone stops me from moving any
further. It’s the same tone he used in the bathroom. “Leave her,”
he commands, but the thought of continuing this conversation, where
we tear each other down, has me fighting him.
“Nix, I have to check on her.” I
continue to the door.
“Don’t you dare leave this fuckin’
room. I’m important too. I’m your fuckin’ husband. Do you hear
me? We are important.” His hand sweeps across his nightstand,
causing one big crash that sends everything tumbling to the floor.
I’m frozen in place, my hand resting on the door handle. The room
is silent. The shock of what has gone on tonight so raw I don’t
think either of us knows how to process it.
“I don’t know what you want from
me,” I repeat, closing my eyes when Harlow’s cries grow louder,
sending my anxiety rising. Doesn’t he know he’s only making it
worse?
“Jesus, I don’t know. Give me a
look, smile at me…fuckin’ touch me. Give me a connection that
says we’re on the same fuckin’ side. I can’t continue to stay
in this place we are in. I’m drowning here, Kadence. We both are,
and I just don’t know if I can keep treading water for both of us.
You have to help me, baby. You have to want us to survive.” He
falls to the bed, his head dropping to his hands. Seeing him like
this, in this state makes me realize that our situation is bigger
than me, than him. It’s bigger than either one of us realize.
“That’s not fair.” I release the
handle and turn, collapsing against the wall. The wind knocks out of
me as his words resonate within me. We are drowning and I have to
stop fighting. At this realization, my knees become weak. Standing
becomes too hard. I slide down the wall, dropping my ass to the
carpet.
“Life isn’t fair, Kadence. I wish
it was, but it just isn’t. Look where we both have come from; look
where life has taken us. We won’t survive if you won’t talk to
me, Kadence. Talk to someone.” He stands to come to me, but having
him in my space only makes things worse.
“Please don’t.” I draw in a
breath, defeated. His frustration and concerns only prove what a bad
mother I’ve been, what a bad wife I’ve become.
“Don’t what, Kadence? Don’t
make me walk away. I want my wife back. I don’t know what’s
happened, but I don’t like who you’ve become.” His voice is
pained, as broken as my soul feels. His confession doesn’t surprise
me, but it still burns. I know I don’t like who I’ve become. How
do I expect Nix to like me?
“You don’t think I ask myself that
question every day? That I don’t look at myself and ask what is
wrong with me? I don’t know who I’ve become, Nix. All I know is I
should. I should know who I am.” My head thuds against the wall in
defeat. I can’t keep going on like this. I can hear Harlow’s
cries quietening, as she resettles herself, but that doesn’t stop
me from wanting out of this room.
“I know who you are, Kadence. You’re
the woman I love. The most amazin’ mother to our daughter, our
son.” Saying Z is my son pulls at me harder. The fact that he, too,
is affected by what is happening hurts even more. Nix walks over and
squats to my level, careful not to get into my space, but close
enough for me to reach out and touch him if I wanted to.
“Why don’t I know that? I should
know that Nix.”
“You don’t have to know. I know,
the kids know and that’s enough.”
“It’s not enough for me.” My hand
itches to touch him, to feel his hardness under my fingers, but
sitting broken on the floor of our bedroom, I know I can’t. I can’t
touch the man who means everything to me and I hate myself for it.
“When did you stop trustin’
yourself?”
“I don’t know. When did I stop
being myself?” I counter, and my admission halts him for a moment.
He crawls forward, coming closer into my space. His warmth, his
calming presence wraps itself all over me.
“The first step is askin’ for help,
baby. Let me help you. You don’t have to be alone. Let me learn to
breathe the ugliness you see. Let me share the darkness, Kadence.
Just don’t push me away.” His pleading pulls at me, pulls at the
hatred that has settled inside.
“I’m not doing good, Nix,” I say,
looking up and giving him what he needs. What I need. “Somewhere
along the way, I woke completely lost and overwhelmed. And every day,
it gets harder and harder to deal.” A sob tears from deep within
me, and walls I’ve been hiding behind crumble down.
“I know, baby.” He pulls me into
the hardness of his chest. “We’re gonna be okay,” he promises,
and everything in me wants to believe him. Everything in me wants to
trust he has me. That he has us. But the truth is, I’ve drowned in
so much self-doubt and uneasiness, that trust seems so far away.
My REVIEW:
In this short novella we will see the road
Nix and Kadence have to go through after
Kadence had her baby.
To the place they once where.
I really loved it.

Series Reading Order
Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight thought pulling his club out of the illegal shit his Pops got them into was difficult.
Until he meets Kadence.
Kadence Turner has no business lusting over a student’s father, especially the president of the Knights Rebels MC. Nix is crass, obnoxious and dangerously sexy and for some reason, Kadence can’t seem to hate him for it. The bossy biker breaks down her defenses, but unlike the old Kadence, the woman she is today won’t give in without a fight.
The tension is undeniable, the attraction fierce. A man that wants what he wants and a woman that will fight him every step of the way.
