Crashing
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?Complete![Dream Bound: Book One | ✓ [COMPLETE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/5424668-256-k377581.jpg)
