Secrets and Shadows 2
(2026)(The sixth book in the Lucifer's Saints MC LSMC Sacramento Chapter series)
A novel by Tonya Anders
She didn’t disappear—she was taken. And the world was rearranged to make it look as if she had chosen it. Gillian was never meant to be free. As the daughter of a powerful man—property of legacy'''her future had been decided long before she ever learned how to say no. Walking away wasn’t rebellion––it was betrayal in the eyes of her father and the man she was meant to marry. And now? They’ve come to collect, pulling her back into a world built to cage her—where control wears a smile and love is obligation—forcing her to step back into a role she already escaped once: perfect daughter, perfect fiancée, perfect lie.
But Gillian isn’t running anymore. Not this time. Because what they don’t know… is that she was prepared for this. Prepared for them.
Nitro Masterson doesn’t chase, he doesn’t beg, and he sure as hell doesn’t lose. But waking up to a world where Gillian is gone—and worse, where she’s been placed back exactly where her enemies wanted her—forces him into something far more dangerous than war: patience. Because this was never just about taking her back. It was about dismantling the system that thought it could take her in the first place, piece by piece, lie by lie, until there was nothing left for them to hide behind.
She was never missing, but positioned. Placed exactly where they wanted her—calculated, controlled, contained.
He was never late. He was waiting. Because patience isn’t weakness'''it’s a weapon. And it’s the one thing Nitro Masterson wields better than anyone.
So when they finally stand in the same room again…
It won’t be about rescue. It won’t be about revenge. It will be about choice. And this time—she will be doing the taking.
