On the surface, a cocky, tattooed biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off bad boys have nothing in common, and Chloe Mallery is certain of it. She has fought hard to move past a difficult upbringing, and a man who looks like he stepped straight out of it is the last risk she wants to take. Justin sees things differently. He came into the Wicked family after a harsh childhood with a thieving father, and he has worked relentlessly to become a true Wicked and a trusted member of the Dark Knights motorcycle club that took him in. Now he is ready to show the woman he loves exactly what kind of man he has become. Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, where the Wickeds are fiercely protective and their family bonds run deep, the story keeps pushing the two together as their trying pasts resurface. When tragedy strikes, they must decide whether shared history will draw them close or whether Justin's protective instincts will overwhelm Chloe's fiercely independent heart. Their standalone romance balances heat, humor, and hard-won tenderness.
