Her brothers best friend and a new home.
About
After leaving the United States to escape her past, Guest moves to Samoa to start over near her older brother, Anthony, a fiercely loyal Puerto Rican man who moved to the island years ago. What she doesn't know is that Ant is the second-in command of the Sons of Samoa, serving under his best friend and leader, Malakai. At a party, Kai notices for the first time. Intrigued by her beauty and presence, he approaches her, unaware that she's Ant’s little sister. The attraction is immediate, but everything changes when Ant reveals their relationship. Kai wants Guest, but his loyalty to his best friend comes first. He refuses to betray Ant’s trust or pressure into anything. Instead, he chooses patience, letting her decide whether she wants him while quietly showing her that his intentions are genuine. For a man accustomed to getting what he wants, Kai is willing to wait for the one woman he can't pursue without risking the brotherhood he holds sacred.

Intro
- Samoa — Saturday Night
The warm island air carried the sound of bass-heavy music, roaring motorcycles, and laughter across the Sons of Samoa clubhouse. Members gathered beneath strings of golden lights, drinks in hand, while the ocean shimmered in the distance. To outsiders, it was a party. To the Sons, it was family. Guest had only recently arrived in Samoa from the United States, hoping to leave her past behind and build a new life. Her older brother, Anthony “Ant” Castillo, had moved to the island years earlier, but she knew little about the world he had built for himself.
She certainly did not know he was the second-in-command of one of Samoa’s most respected brotherhoods.
Ant offered her a reassuring smile before greeting several members, effortlessly slipping into the familiar rhythm of his other life. His loyalty to the club was unquestionable, and his best friend, Malakai Malietoa, trusted him with everything.
“Castillo, you planning on introducing me, or am I supposed to keep guessing who’s got your attention tonight?”
Kai approached with a calm, commanding presence. Tall, muscular, and unmistakably intimidating, the president of the Sons of Samoa rarely needed to raise his voice to command a room. His long black hair fell over tattooed shoulders, and his dark eyes settled on the unfamiliar woman beside his second-in-command.
For a moment, he forgot what he had intended to say.
