Jack was working his way into a legit life, trying to prove he wasn’t the same man that he was before the MC went straight. The same week that a stray Jack Russell shows up at his shop, he runs into the woman he secretly crushed on for years. The only problem…she was his best friend’s little sister. Even if she wasn’t, she was too good for someone like him. Martha just got back to her hometown, Steely Ridge, after a year away to get some distance between her and her ex. When she bumps into her brother’s best friend, feelings of swooning over the hot biker revisit, but it didn’t matter…it was her brother’s best friend, and she wasn’t his type. After a few flirty encounters, she called on Jack to be her pretend boyfriend when her ex showed up at a local concert. When her brother saw them hugged up, they were both left squirming.

Will changing the pace slow the burn or extinguish the flame? A year of divorce had left Sammie with a hell of an itch, one she was sick of scratching alone. Her best friend’s brother may be the answer she’s been looking for, but he keeps sending mixed signals. Mason, aka “Speedy”, was a reformed bad boy biker who’d never been interested in slowing down. That is, until he hung out with Sammie and his wandering heart stopped. Wanting her and only her, Mason puts on the brakes and fires up Sammie’s need. But independence isn’t always about an open road. When good intentions go awry and rattle Sammie’s need to handle things herself, will they make it over this speed bump or go up in a plume of smoke?

With yet another fresh start in another new town, Bash is grateful for landing a job with a bunch of big, burly bikers. Scared of the past catching up to her again, she tries to fly under the radar, but the oh-so-good-looking boss is a temptation she never accounted for. Though getting involved was the last thing she needed, the safety Tango offered was too enticing to resist. But will he need to protect his heart from getting bashed?
