Broke and bitter, Karia Mitchell is just done. So damn tired of it all. After spending a decade in a loveless and toxic marriage, she’s finally breaking free and rebuilding her life. The prospect of starting over at forty-one is gut wrenching, but she’s willing to do whatever it takes as long as she’s rid of her ex. However, he continues to lurk in the background posing as a silent but obvious threat. Karia takes it all in stride, knowing he may have won the battle, but there is still a war to be fought, and she might just hold the ace up her sleeve. Her plan to stay focused on her future is completely derailed when she crosses paths with a broody, standoffish, mysterious biker. Dangerous and unpredictable men are apparently her Achilles heel. But Karia is determined to break the cycle and stay clear of the dark haired, scarred biker with a permanent scowl. Easy, light, and fun, that’s who she needs, not a man who will draw her deeper into the dark depths of a world where she doesn’t know the rules.

Trick may live a life outside of East, but he’s still loyal and solid to the club members. Back in with East, but it’s only temporary. Trick has no plans of sticking around. The scars and wounds are too deep, and he’s content with riding away. Then she shows up, changing everything. Two virtual strangers. Broken, battered, and wounded. They might just be exactly what each other needs.
