I was supposed to race, take the win, and disappear before the truth caught up to me. But pain doesn’t let go—not when your lungs burn, your body won’t heal, and the pills barely keep you upright. I crashed again. And the mask came off. Now, the people I was never meant to trust know exactly who I am. What I’ve done. What I still intend to finish. They weren’t supposed to see me. Not the man chasing redemption. Not the one with too much charm and too many secrets. And definitely not the forbidden fruit I’ve wanted from the beginning—the one I should have stayed far away from. But I never expected the fallout. The truth is out, and the people I tried to keep at arm’s length know everything. They see the cracks in my armor, the scars I tried to bury, the girl beneath the lies—and they’re not walking away. The lines are blurred, and every choice feels like its own kind of loss. I finally have something worth saving... But I lit the fuse, and now I have to watch it burn. Twisted Trails is a slow burn, instant spark, spicy, hurt/comfort, MMFM, why choose romance. It’s the second book in the Rogue Riders Duet and is not a standalone. For mature readers.
