There are three sides to this story. His. Hers. And the truth. Over two decades ago, Regina Hinkley had a life she loved. While it may not have been idyllic for most people, it was perfect for her. But in a single moment, her plans and her future were all derailed, steering the course of her life in a very different direction. Now, she’s back. After vowing never to return, Regina finds herself in the city that destroyed her life, at odds with the only man she’s ever loved, and buried in the torment of her past. Self-proclaimed bachelor for life, Dennis “Grain” McCaffrey is a beloved Original among the Ghosttown East Motorcycle Club. Inappropriate, unapologetic, and offensive at times, Grain wears all those titles proudly. He may not be for everyone, but he is a solid, loyal, and die-hard member of his club. But Grain’s sacrifices from his past have come back with a vengeance. Literally, in the form of the only woman he’s ever loved. And ultimately lost. He's fighting with everything he’s got to keep her from chipping away at his armor. Under his harsh, crude exterior lies a wounded heart that never truly healed after the ultimate betrayal. Life is never only the parts you can see on the surface, but instead has layers and layers of dark, mysterious events, buried secrets, turbulent emotions, and unfulfilled dreams. Down the murky, trouble-strewn pathway could be a dead end, or maybe a new beginning. The heart always knows what it wants, and if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. Even if it takes two decades to get there.

Amelia Shea writes contemporary romance. She released her debut novel in 2015, and has followed her passion for series romance ever since. Her writing style includes a little sweet, a little sassy and lots of steam. She loves building stories with settings that become comfortable and familiar, and developing characters who feel real, and though they may be flawed, they learn and grow, and finally deserve a happy ending. When she is not writing, she is obsessed with reading (all genres although she does has a soft spot for romance), coffee (it's more of an addiction but she prefers obsession) and perfecting her "y'all" (just a northern girl living in the south).
