All this will be thoroughly explained in book 4... Utterly Wrecked.

When one door closes, a window always opens, providing an escape route. This metaphor seems to be the DreamCatcher’s motto. Unprovoked, the club finds itself the target of a new enemy. As sergeant-at-arms, Master’s tasks are keeping the club unified, ensuring the club follows the rules, and doling out appropriate punishments. His ex destroyed his faith in relationships—broke his spirit. The trusting man he once was is no longer who he is today. But Aspen, a tiny dancer, throws all of his self-avowed pledges into upheaval. Can any of his shields protect him and hold him strong? Somehow, he doubts that. He knows she’s a game-changer. Aspen Reynolds had a safe childhood, even if it was religiously strict, until she became a teenager and caught the eye of a predator in her family church congregation. She became the sacrifice, and when she no longer kept his attention, she lost everything—including her family. She leads a safe life, one that’s structured and predictable. Is she willing to take a chance and leap? Or will her old insecurities and fears hold her back? The Morbid Saints MC had never been significant enough to cause the DreamCatchers any concern—they hadn’t even crossed paths. So when they’re met with a new person to protect, they close ranks and vow that they will keep their club members and friends safe from harm. But are they strong enough to pursue the new threat after surviving their last war? Or are they still struggling, still mourning a lost member to pay attention to the signs? Will they be victorious while taking on a club as savage as the MSMC?

Despite her world crumbling around her, she never gave up on life or love. She’s a dynamo who’s determined to break down all of Cole’s defenses. Giving up is not a word in her dictionary. She may think she’s not picture perfect for him, looks wise, but she knows she’s what’s best for his heart. Their motto: Never give up, fight the good fight, never go to bed angry, and always kiss and make up. Will the club’s enemies put their future at risk? Or will their strengths boil over and fill the club with hope?

From the chief film critic of Slate comes a fresh and captivating biography on comedy legend and acclaimed filmmaker Buster Keaton that also explores the evolution of film from the silent era to the 1940s. As one of the most famous faces of silent cinema, Buster Keaton was and continues to be revered for his stoic expressions, clever visual gags, and acrobatic physicality in classics such as Sherlock Jr., The General, and The Cameraman. In this spirited biography, every aspect of Buster Keaton's astonishing life is explored, from his humble beginnings in vaudeville with his parents to his meteoric rise to Hollywood stardom during the silent era. Based on vigorous research of both Keaton and the film industry, it also delves into the dark sides of fame, such as Keaton's ill-advised businesses deals and alcoholism, to his unexpected resurgence in the 1940s as his contributions as both an actor and director were finally celebrated. This is a fascinating and uniquely astounding look at both the classic era of Hollywood and one of its most beloved stars.
