A young widow on the run from her past collides with a brooding biker outlaw. Both of them loners, running on empty.

Until now.

Ever since her biker husband's murder sixteen years ago, Grace Quillen has stayed away from her hometown. But when tragedy strikes, forty-two year old Grace returns home to care for her sister and little nephew. Her one night of hot, explosive indulgence with Lock, an attractive stranger she meets at a bar, is much, much more than she ever bargained for.

Why? He's no stranger.

Years ago Lock had been her dead husband's close friend whom she'd never had a chance to meet. Now Lock is an officer with the same bike club.

Lock had heard all about Grace from her husband, from his brothers, seen her in photographs. She became his ultimate dream woman. A fantasy.

Now that once-in-a-lifetime fantasy is his reality, and he's craving more. A hell of a lot more.

Grace resists, but even so, the heat and emotion between them simmers, and they grow close.

But the club has other plans.

For the two of them.

When a rival sparks a war and a traitor operates within the club's ranks, the President sets a risky plan in motion to clear the decks. But he needs Grace and Lock to do it, and he forces them in the cruelest way. And now she and Lock are on opposite sides of the firestorm.

Suddenly Grace finds herself back in the thick of the dangerous life she'd left behind. With her nephew's life at risk and so many volatile secrets from the past and the present on the line, she must summon all her determination and grit. Lock has to find the fight in himself to survive this new hell and protect Grace whether she wants him to or not.

Once they had nothing. Now, they both have so damn much to lose.
