Deep Heart by Debra Kayn

An emotional connection with a young girl changes Onyx’s life.

Soon after his chance encounter with the little girl on the swing, Onyx’s father is murdered. He steps into the role of president of Killere Motorcycle Club, leading his MC brothers forward. Until he’s ambushed by the Feds and doing eighteen months in prison.

When he returns to Killere, a hardened biker with a rap sheet, Onyx focuses on revenge. Between protecting his club, running the truck stop, and the arrival of a teenage runaway holding his ring and claiming to be Mad Jack’s daughter, he struggles to keep his promise to her.
He’s not the same man he was before. Willow is half child and half inexperienced woman. But the trust in Willow’s eyes keeps him close. Too close.

It’s hard enough to keep his personal life away from Willow’s curious eyes and club business from reaching her ears. But, as she showers her undeveloped feelings on him, he learns having her around fills a void in him that he always thought would remain empty.
He needs her as much as she needs him.
But will he claim his enemy’s daughter?

Escaping an abusive home, Willow takes the only thing that matters to her—the ring Onyx gave her when she was eight years old. Lying about her age, she arrives at Killere Truck Stop, ready to throw herself at the mercy of the motorcycle club if she can stay near Onyx.

Her love for him gives her the strength to overcome neglect, lies and the most painful heartache of her life.
With him, she discovers true love and family.
