"Sometimes the most dangerous hearts are the ones we can't help but chase."
Seventeen-year-old Ava Monroe has always played it safe-straight A's, early curfews, and a plan for everything. Her life is predictable... until Jace Hunter roars into town on his black motorcycle, all leather jacket, reckless grin, and eyes that promise trouble.
He's everything she's been warned to stay away from: mysterious, untamable, and addicted to the thrill of danger. Midnight rides on empty highways, rooftop secrets under city lights, and a heart that beats too fast whenever he's near-Ava knows she's falling, even when every part of her says she shouldn't.
But Jace's world isn't just speed and freedom-it's chaos, scars, and a past he can't outrun. And as Ava gets pulled deeper into his orbit, she'll have to choose between the safety of what she knows and the wild, beautiful disaster that is Jace Hunter.
Because sometimes love doesn't come to fix you-it comes to break you wide open.
