Aspen Slade thought the worst betrayal of her life was walking in on her husband in bed with another woman.
She was wrong.
After fleeing her marriage, Aspen accepts a deal she never wanted, becoming the hidden nurse for a violent biker organization in exchange for her brother's and husband's lives. Exiled to a remote mountain safe house, Aspen survives alone for five years, learning how to hunt, fight, and protect herself in ways she never imagined. Freedom comes at a brutal cost.
When her ex-husband Ransom Duke, the gang's mechanic, is shot and brought to her door, the past crashes back into her carefully controlled solitude. Aspen wants nothing to do with him until the truth comes out. The betrayal that destroyed their marriage was staged to save her life, and the man she hated has been suffering in silence ever since.
Now hunted by rival bikers, betrayed from within, and forced to run, Aspen and Ransom must rely on each other to survive. As secrets unravel and loyalties turn deadly, Aspen discovers she was never just collateral damage; she was the prize.
With the RCMP, witness protection, and a violent criminal empire closing in, Aspen must decide whether to disappear forever... or burn everything down to protect the man who never stopped loving her.
Some loves are worth running for.
Some are worth fighting for.
