For Gianna Taylor that’s all it was supposed to be.  A night to be someone she’s never been, to be free from the circumstances a tragedy forced upon her.

When that night gives her a daughter, desperation forces her into a world she’s spent her entire life avoiding - and towards a man who seems dedicated to freeing her.

Moving into a new home with his son is supposed to be a fresh start, a way to begin building the life for them that his son deserves.

But his family has other plans.

Elaina Jones loves her life, although at times it can be somewhat lonely.  That all changes after Jake moves next door and the entire Dimarco family decides to make her their business.  Her once quiet life becomes loud, filled with laughter and new friends.  No matter how much she tries to deny her feelings for Jake, their connection is too strong, their chemistry too intense.

But not everyone is happy that Elaina has become part of the family.

With a gunman at large and Jake’s past proving dangerous, he makes choices to right the many wrongs he feels he’s guilty of and to keep his family safe.  But those decisions come at the expense of himself and the woman who’s become more important to him than he ever believed she could.

However, ignoring the heat between them is impossible, and it isn’t long before he’s sacrificing everything to get close to her.

He’s her nemesis.

John Pierce, known only to his MC brothers as Bear, is overbearing, infuriating, and pushy.

He lives his life on his own terms, in complete contradiction to how she lives hers, but she needs his protection to keep herself and the kids in her program safe.  However, as their obsessive attraction continues to pull them together, she begins second-guessing everything she thought she knew about the man and what he’s willing to do for her and the club.

But things are rarely what they seem.
