I asked my husband for a divorce. He beat me and told me I would never leave him. That night, I ran. Bernie Watson had taken over my father’s motorcycle club, brought his mistress into our home, and left me to bury my mother alone. I had nothing left to stay for. Barefoot and bleeding, I begged a stranger on a motorcycle to take me away. Anywhere. I didn’t know he was Leo Merchant, president of the Grim Horsemen. Leo offers me a safe place to stay. As I recover, I begin to want more than his protection. I start craving for him and our passion turns into something dangerous.

And the papers I escaped with may explain why Bernie refuses to let me go. I want my freedom and my family’s life back. But when Bernie discovers whose bed I want to share, how far will he go to stop me? And how far would Leo go for me?

He’s Andy’s fiercest rival, captain of the Boston Wolves, and the coldest man I’ve ever met. Now he wants to marry me. For one year. The deal: His protection. A job with his team. But his marriage contract demands nightly kisses and sharing his bed. For someone who insists this is business, he looks ready to kill whenever Andy comes near me. I thought my accidental bite left a mark. Until I discover what Luke is hiding—and what that mark makes me to him… Tropes: sunshine x grumpy, forced proximity, comedy, strong heroine, regret
