Willow Cross has made a life out of keeping her distance from bad men, bigger dreams, and the Savage Kings MC who drink at the bar connected to Widow’s Peak Casino, where she waits tables with a smile and a steel spine. She’s been burned before, and she swore she’d never fall for another man who lives life fast, rough, and on two wheels. But then there’s him. Gabe “Diesel” Turner isn’t just another biker. He’s deadly calm, fiercely loyal, and built like a goddamn tank. He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t chase. But the second he lays eyes on Willow, something shifts. She's light in his dark world, and no matter how hard he tries to ignore it, he wants her in his bed, on the back of his bike, and in his life. When a dangerous high-stakes poker game at the casino goes sideways, Willow finds herself in the crosshairs of a crooked player who’s connected to a rival crew. Suddenly, she’s not just the pretty waitress with a sharp tongue and a big heart—she’s a target. And Diesel? He doesn’t let anyone touch what's his. Now Willow’s stuck under Diesel’s protection—close quarters, locked doors, late nights—and what started as guarded glances turns into full-throttle heat. But she’s been burned before, and Diesel’s got ghosts that don’t go quietly.
