She wanted a quiet life. He brings the kind of chaos you don't walk away from. When Emery Hatch witnesses a brutal murder in the heart of Charming, she's thrust into a world she's spent her whole life avoiding. The Sons of Anarchy are dangerous, and no one embodies that more than Jax Teller. He's lethal, unreadable, and now assigned to keep her alive. Forced into hiding and bouncing from one cheap motel to another, Emery and Jax find themselves drawn to each other in ways neither of them expected. Between whispered secrets, stolen glances, and the constant threat of death, their bond deepens into something neither of them can name. But safety comes at a price. And when they return to Charming, Emery and Jax must decide: Is love worth walking into the fire for, when everything they believe in could burn?

All she wants is to mend her broken heart. He's determined to make all the pieces his. After losing her boyfriend to a sudden, violent tragedy, Bonnie Monroe's only wish is to leave Charming behind and start over in Santo Padre, a town that promises anonymity, new beginnings, and perhaps a little peace. But peace is hard to come by when grief follows you like a shadow. Ez Reyes is smart, lethal, and magnetic in ways that make danger feel like temptation. With a sharp mind honed by a life on the edge and a past he rarely shares, Ez has learned to keep people at a distance-until Bonnie. What begins as a fragile friendship, born from shared loneliness and quiet understanding, soon ignites into a consuming attraction neither of them expected. In a town where secrets run deep and shadows conceal more than just sins, Bonnie must decide if she can risk loving again, and Ez must confront a truth he's long avoided: sometimes saving someone else is the only way to save yourself.
