Tin Queen

Emmett Stone has spent years dealing with the fallout from the collapse of his motorcycle club. When a woman catches his eye, he accepts her terms for a fling: no promises, no expectations and no names. It looks like the easy, uncomplicated thing he needs.

Two months in, the arrangement has settled into a rhythm. She rides on the back of his bike every Saturday afternoon and spends Sunday mornings in his bed. She is clever, sharp-tongued and kind, and Emmett finds it harder and harder to keep his feelings out of it.

She is Nova Talbot, and her father is the man who murdered Emmett's father. Nova knows what her name would cost her. She also knows there is a reason she was the one who proposed the fling, a reason Emmett has not yet learned.

This is a romance told around a secret identity, with a slow-building attachment between two people on opposite sides of an old feud. The tension comes from the clock on the lie: if Emmett finds out the truth before Nova can prove her feelings are real, she loses him.
