She ran from a monster... straight into the arms of a dangerous stranger. Wren Vale is twenty-one, bruised, and alone. After a lifetime of shrinking into the shadows to survive, she flees one night with nothing but what she can fit in her beat-up car. When her car dies on a rain-soaked road, she stumbles into the territory of the Shadow Legion MC - and into the path of their president. Knox "Ghost" Harlan is an ex-Navy SEAL turned biker: tall, inked, silent, and lethally protective. One look at the trembling girl with haunted eyes and fresh bruises, and something dark stirs inside the man who never lets anyone in. He should send her away. He doesn't. In the fortified heart of the Shadow Legion compound, Wren is safe from the world outside - but not from the man who has decided she belongs to him. A dark, possessive MC romance full of raw obsession, scorching tension, and a love fierce enough to heal even the deepest scars.

"I told you, baby girl." It's a silky reminder, the endearment making butterflies take off in my stomach. I swallow, and he tracks the movement. "You're mine. You don't get to decide when we're over." Silver Buchanan thought Ash Steele was out of her league. After a lifetime of feeling like she was never enough, she refuses to risk her heart and disappears without a word. She knows their connection wasn't real, and rather than wait for him to end things, she chooses to walk away in search of something she's always longed for: a home and a family. She's certain Ash won't care, knowing his club will always come first. Ash grew up in the MC life, watching his father destroy both his mother and the Dark Shadows. Now president of the club, he's determined that love has no place in his life-not while the club demands his full attention. But when Silver vanishes, he can't shake her from his mind. Their relationship was casual, but nothing about her is easy to forget. When their paths cross again, Ash is set on making her pay for walking away-no matter the cost. When danger threatens Silver's new life, Ash must decide whether he's ready to face his past, confront his feelings, and claim her for good-or let her go forever.
