Joe went straight down the elevator to the garage. His shredded heart and battered mind couldn’t take it anymore. The reality of Liza Lazarus was nothing like the fantasy that had fueled his soul for most of his life, and he couldn’t quite work out if that was a good thing, or not.

The Lazarus House garage was a study in performance luxury. From slick custom-made cars, to muscle motorbikes and dark-tinted vehicles. His boring sedan stood out with two dings on the side, a scratch on the fender, and peeling paint on the roof from too many days sitting in the sun with no protection. Parker leaned casually against the hood, tracking Joe’s movements across the floor.

Joe kept his squelching strides long and sure. He gripped his dry jacket in one hand, and his holster in the other. He stopped before Parker, again hating that he had to look up. Joe was a tall man, but the Lazarus family was taller. Now he knew why. They were created in a lab.

He laughed at the irony. He’d spent his life trying to be better than beings created in a goddamned lab. His father, he understood. But these guys?

Parker’s eyes narrowed at Joe’s burst of humor.

“What?” Joe demanded.

When Parker didn’t answer, Joe shook his head and unlocked the car. He didn’t give a shit what that cocksucker thought anymore. Hell, he wondered if he ever had. Joe opened the car door, but a big hand slammed it shut.

Oh no, he fucking didn’t.

Blood boiled in Joe’s veins, coursing around, kicking up a storm. He tensed. And then turned to meet Parker’s golden, smug stare.

The man wore a tight black muscle shirt and slouch jeans that probably cost more than Joe’s car. With long hair hastily pulled back at his nape, day-old scruff that, for once, didn’t seem manicured from an in-house barber. A red blistering welt covered one side of his face.

Shit. Parker was disheveled.

Joe’s lips quirked. He gestured at Parker’s wound. It looked like how Liza had left some Faithful. “Disagreed with your sister?”

Another squint of Parker’s eyes. Joe could practically hear his thoughts calculating: How much does he know?

Enough. Joe knew enough.

Parker leaned forward with menace. He opened his mouth, but Joe spoke first.

“Save me a repeat of the speech you gave me twenty years ago, Parker. I don’t give a shit what you think. We’re not kids anymore. What’s between your sister and me is just that—between us.”

A low animalistic snarl ripped out of Parker.

Instead of returning Parker’s anger, Joe was only tired. This man had no reason to be shitty. Joe had done nothing to him except ignore his warning to stay away from his sister.

And there it was. Like a lightning bolt of clarity.

“You’re Pride, and you can’t stand the fact that you’re not right about something.” Joe laughed harshly. “I mean, you fucked up, right? You didn’t want me near your sister and, as it turns out, I’m the only one she can be near. Liza hasn’t
