Piper Walsh has always been a fighter. No matter how many times life has knocked her down, she's always gotten back up, her smile never faltering. So when she scores an internship in NYC for her final year of visual arts at Columbia, she's ready to take on the world-even if it means leaving her brothers and everything she knows behind. Things get complicated when a housing mix-up leaves Piper stranded without her best friend and instead crashing with five of New York City's most notorious-and ridiculously attractive-bikers. But these guys aren't what they seem. Beneath the tough exteriors and tattoos, Piper discovers they're more like a pack of lovable, overprotective misfits than anything else. All except for Greyson Lowell. He's broody, standoffish, and frustratingly gorgeous-every bit the bad boy with a past he's not willing to talk about. Greyson has a way of looking at her that sends shivers down her spine, but getting close to him is like trying to crack a safe that's been welded shut. He's sworn off happiness, carrying the weight of a tragedy he can't seem to forget, and Piper's sunny smile only seems to remind him of what he thinks he doesn't deserve. But Piper isn't one to back down from a challenge. With her heart on her sleeve and kindness in spades, she's determined to break through Greyson's walls. And as sparks fly and tensions build, Piper discovers that there's more to Greyson than meets the eye-and that sometimes, the toughest hearts are just waiting for the right touch to open up.

My name is Delaney and this is my story. I feel compelled to give you fair warning before you embark on my journey. It's messy. It's chock-full of terrible choices and split-second decisions filled with bad judgment. It's rough, complicated and angsty-but, hey, isn't that what real life is? You live and learn through experience. You (hopefully) mature and don't make the same mistakes twice. These, however, are tough lessons to learn when you're trying to navigate through. Sure, dear reader, you will have ideas of how I could've handled it all better-I know I certainly do, in retrospect. But, I'm me. I'm human. And to err is human, right? Isn't that the popular quote people love to use as an excuse? Well-there it is. Read my life story, I dare you, but remember you've been warned. The divorce of her parents does not come as a surprise to Delaney, however her mother's swift decision to relocate to Florida throws her for a loop. After enrolling in classes at university, she makes fast friends with Shane, the quintessentially perfect guy. Jaded by her past experiences with relationships, Shane completely confounds her. He represents everything Delaney believed didn't exist in real life; stability, security and good old-fashioned kindness. It should be effortless. With Shane, it's exactly the type of happily-ever-after story she loves to read, as well as write. Enter Fin: the edgy, risk-taking artist that unrelentingly captivates her attention. Soon after becoming her partner in literature class, he becomes her one and only copyeditor and most trusted confidant. Torn between two different worlds, Delaney stumbles through a range of decisions that lead her on an unexpected journey. She finds herself left with an impossible choice: A life of contentedness filled with ease and love or a passion-filled wild ride that leaves her breathless. However, Delaney also discovers that sometimes the seemingly unimportant everyday decisions end up making the choices for you...
