One woman ready to stop running. Four bikers determined to protect what's theirs. And a man from her past who knows exactly how to tear them apart.

I thought escaping Logan would finally set me free.

I was wrong.

The Black Vultures are gone, but the power vacuum they left behind has turned Ransom into a battleground. Every criminal within riding distance wants a piece of the town, the sheriff is more dangerous than ever, and the Reapers are being stretched too thin to protect everything they've built.

Then my stepfather arrives offering to help.

Terry has always been good at making people trust him. Hawk sees an experienced leader who understands the pressures of running a club. I see the monster who taught me how dangerous charming men can be.

But Hawk won't listen to me.

As Terry sinks his claws deeper into the Reapers, the cracks between us begin to spread. Hawk is carrying the weight of the club alone. Maverick is keeping secrets he swears are meant to protect me. Blaze is fighting a battle no one else knows about. And Ghost is willing to cross any line to make sure my past never hurts me again.

I love them.

All of them.

But love won't save us if we can't trust one another. Terry doesn't just want control of Ransom. He wants control of me?and he's willing to burn down the only home I've ever had to get it.

I've spent my entire life surviving men like him.

This time, I'm not running.

And if Terry wants a war, I'll show him exactly what rises from the ashes.
