A Nomad with the Dark Knights Motorcycle Club, Desmond 'Diesel' Black protects others with his life and always rides alone. Tracey Kline once left the only family she had for a man who broke far more than her spirit, and she has come out the other side wary, guarded, and determined to depend on no one. On the surface the two share little but a talent for keeping people out. Then a twist of fate lets each of them glimpse the parts of the other no one else is allowed to see, the tenderness beneath Diesel's armor and the strength beneath Tracey's caution.
