A heart-pounding, opposites-attract love story where sparks fly between a brooding biker and a bubbly dreamer. Jaxon "Axe" Steele doesn't have time for softness. Cold, guarded, and impossibly charming, he's the kind of guy who thrives on chaos and speed. With piercing blue eyes, messy honey-brown hair, and a body inked with stories, Axe cuts through life's noise with a razor-sharp edge. His world revolves around his jet-black Ducati, his chosen biker family, and staying far away from anything that threatens his hard-earned control-especially love. Ivy Sinclair is a small-town girl with big dreams. Bright, optimistic, and full of life, she's chased the city lights to make a name for herself, working at her charming little café in the heart of a gritty neighborhood. With golden-blonde hair, doe-green eyes, and a smile that could melt anyone, Ivy stands out in the biker world like a burst of color. Despite her cheerful demeanor, she's no stranger to life's challenges and isn't afraid to take on anything-or anyone-that stands in her way. But when Ivy's cheerful world collides with Axe's dark, stormy life, neither of them expects what happens next. Ivy refuses to let his cold exterior push her away, and Axe finds himself drawn to her warmth-despite every instinct telling him to run. Can this unlikely pair survive the friction between their worlds, or will they crash and burn?

They will claim to be her salvation as they take her through hell. Left in the care of her brothers, Isabella starts to realize this as the truth begins to crack the surface of all that she has left and she realizes there is no escape. • • • A thriller/mystery based book about family.

I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me. His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his. "You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me."

A single mom with a past, and a tattooed bad boy who needs to change his future. Macy Roberston knows better than to get too close to the bad boy hockey star, but Declan James is stubborn and willing to prove he'd do anything for her. After Macy's sister passes away, Declan knows this is his time to shine and prove to Macy that she shouldn't judge a book by its cover--all while dealing with his own problems. * * * Macy Declan James is bad for me. Like, tattoos covering his back and arms, bad. Like, break my heart type of bad. He starts fights on the ice for something as simple as a wrong look. He hooks up with any brunette with long legs. He parties. His image is terrible. He's just the kind of man I don't need around my son. So what if he holds him when my arms get too tired? So what if he surprises him with gummy bears and voluntarily watches kids' TV shows? So what if he scratches my back while I fall asleep? So what if all I want to do is hop on the back of his motorcycle and let him take me for a ride? It doesn't matter. My son comes first, and Declan is not father material. Declan I've never been a one-girl-only kind of man. I know I get around, and I'm not ashamed of it. Or at least, I hadn't been. Macy Robertson is the kind of girl that any man would settle down for, even me. She's got pretty blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The best part of her package? Axel. I'm sure you were expecting me to say her breasts--which don't get me wrong, those are a work of art--but Axel? He's got me wrapped around his finger almost as much as his mama does. I never thought I wanted kids. They're loud and messy. But I'd do anything for that little boy. Maybe it's because he's got Macy's eyes. Or maybe it's just because he's the reason I officially met the quiet high school teacher who's kept me awake every night since we met. I'm not sure, but I'm going to do everything I can to prove how much of a father I can be to Axel, because if not? I lose my one chance at love.
