Charlotte: Ever since I was a little girl, I've taken care of everyone around me, including my self-centered older sister, Anna. When her poor choices make us targets of the Devil's Rejects Motorcycle Club, I grab her and we run like hell. A new city, a new job, a new life. It's almost perfect-and then I meet Ryker.

He's gorgeous, rugged, and too cocky for his own damned good. But he's a biker-exactly the type of man I've been running from. I have no business getting involved with a man like him. Too bad I can't get him out of my head.

Ryker: As V.P. of the Kings of Korruption MC, I know all about violence and loss. In my world, getting involved with a woman never turns out well. Avoiding commitment isn't something I have to work at-it's just a way of life. Then I meet Charlotte. Drawn to her kindness and beauty, I know there's no place for her in my world.

Finding Charlotte battered and bloody late one night, I go against my own beliefs, making it my mission to protect her. The Devils are out for blood, and it's Charlotte's they want. Maybe I can't keep her, but I will put my life on the line to keep her safe. If not, I face losing the only woman that's ever made me feel alive.
