Penelope Striker was used to chasing dreams with her feet firmly planted on the ground-or, more often, up on pointe. She had simple goals: find ballet shoes that matched her skin tone, maybe teach dance in an exotic corner of the world. But life pirouetted off course when she crossed paths with Gunnar Severin, the rugged, enigmatic leader of a notorious motorcycle club. Gunnar was everything she wasn't looking for: twice her age, intimidatingly sharp-edged, and with a reputation as dangerous as it was alluring. As Penelope is drawn deeper into his world, she finds herself caught in a high-stakes tango between passion and risk. But can they bridge the vast divide between a ballet studio and the backroom of a biker bar? What begins as a brief infatuation unfolds into a raw, unexpected love story about finding belonging in the least likely of places and learning that love can be both fierce and tender.

Kason "Khotic" Brewster never planned on living long. At seventeen, he buried both of his parents in the same week. His mother died instantly in a car crash. His father held on just long enough to make Kason promise one thing before he passed. Take care of your brother and sister. So that's exactly what he did. Twelve years later Khotic is the man the streets call when things get ugly. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Everything he does is for the two people depending on him to make it out of the life he's stuck in. He's content with that. Until Beauty Cardwell crashes into his world. Bee is nothing like the women Khotic usually deals with. She's a twenty-five-year-old brain surgeon, a child prodigy who finished school before most people finished learning who they were. She's blunt, literal, and socially awkward in ways people don't always understand. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Bee doesn't believe in pretending to be something she's not. She says exactly what she means. And for some reason... Khotic likes that. What starts as a chance meeting turns into something neither of them expected. Bee sees the man behind Khotic's reputation. The older brother trying to keep his promise. The boy who never got the chance to grieve. And Khotic sees something in Bee that the world keeps missing. But loving a man like Khotic means stepping into a life Bee was never meant to be part of. Enemies. Loyalty. Violence. The kind of danger that doesn't care how smart you are. And Khotic knows one thing for sure. Good girls like Beauty Cardwell aren't supposed to fall for men like him.
