She's so close, he could bring her against him with the flick of his wrist. He could kiss her, and she might let him. His desire for her radiates between them. She must feel it, and he senses it from her, too. He's in heat, sweating in his coat. He wants her, he wants her. He needs her. "I-" It catches on her tongue as she struggles to speak. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" The union of their hands is broken. Lina pulls away, and she's walking. She's walking so fast and doesn't turn to look back at him. As she disappears into the horizon, he just sits there and thinks. He's fucked this up.

Delilah Grace Monroe has never belonged-not to a family, not to a home, and certainly not to a man. At 185 pounds, with thick thighs and a heart too soft for the world, she's spent her life being told she's too much. Too loud. Too heavy. Too broken. After escaping an abusive ex and the ghosts of foster care, Delilah lands in Ash Hollow-a dusty town ruled by the Iron Saints Motorcycle Club. She wants silence. Safety. A chance to breathe. What she finds is Maddoz "Saint" Barlowe, the club's cold, calculating president. He's older. Dangerous. Untouchable. But when it comes to Delilah, he's soft. Protective. Possessive in ways that terrify her-and thrill her. As Delilah begins to trust again, she discovers that not every man leaves. Not every family breaks. And sometimes, the most feared man in town is the only one who sees you clearly. This is a story of trauma, tenderness, and the kind of love that rebuilds you from the inside out. Content Warnings: PTSD, emotional abuse, foster care trauma, age-gap romance, protective alpha male, slow-burn healing
