Nova Hart has spent her entire life hiding both the visible and the deep-set scars. Being forced into an arranged marriage with Theo Rhodes, the guarded son of a billionaire family, she expects coldness, not kindness. Yet Theo is drawn to her from the very start, captivated by the cracks she tries to hide and the strength she doesn't see in herself.
Bound by vows she never wanted and a man she doesn't understand, Nova keeps her walls high. Theo's quiet patience and fierce protectiveness begin to slip through the cracks. But as the demons of the past resurface and fragile truths start to unravel, Nova faces off against the toughest question of them all-can she learn to trust someone who should have never mattered?

Fiery Chains , Dark Shadows MC (Book 2)
Chloe has always believed that she can only rely on herself, especially when everyone else always leaves. Relationships mean letting someone in and she's not willing to open herself up to that kind of pain, not without some kind of proof that it will last. When the Dark Shadows MC offers her protection from the danger stalking her, Chloe finds herself stuck with the gruff Road Captain, Hawk. He's silent, rude, uncompromising, and she's positive that he can't stand her...but Chloe also can't deny the way her heart races when he sets his steely gaze on her. Hawk learned early not to trust those who were supposed to care for him, finding solace and family among the brothers of the MC who saved him when he was a teen. Watching over Chloe is just supposed to be another way to repay that debt to the club, or so he keeps telling himself. But as the danger surrounding Chloe escalates and the lines blur between them, Hawk faces a choice between remaining guarded and alone, or letting Chloe in. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and danger lurks in every shadow, Chloe and Hawk must confront their deepest fears and decide if love is worth the risk.
