"My hand moves before my brain catches up, reaching across the table to cover hers. She startles at the contact, eyes snapping up to meet mine. For a heartbeat, neither of us moves. Then her fingers shift, turning beneath mine until our palms press together. The warmth in her brief touch makes my breathing shallow."
When former military intelligence officer Trenton Hayes joins the Gray Hawks motorcycle club as a prospect, his first assignment seems simple: protect Axel's sister Harper from a stalker at her bookstore. What he doesn't expect is to be caught in a dangerous web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of Cedar Trails—or to fall hard for the fiercely independent bookstore owner who's sworn off men.
As Trenton and Harper's attraction ignites against the backdrop of escalating violence, they find themselves targeted by a ruthless former politician with deadly secrets hidden in Harper's walls. When bullets start flying and the body count rises, Trenton must choose between his loyalty to the brotherhood and protecting the woman who's stolen his heart.
In a town where loyalty is everything and betrayal comes with the highest price, can their forbidden love survive the storm of violence that threatens to tear apart everything they hold dear? Some secrets are worth killing for—and some flames burn too hot to extinguish.
