ROWAN

Imagine coming into the town pub with my crew, dirty and exhausted, only to walk right into my biggest regret. The twin sister of my lost best friend and the one who got away. I haven't seen Violette Taylor in years but I haven't forgotten her either.

I used to be Rowan to her. Now, I'm just King, the guy who broke her heart, but not for the reasons she thinks.

Violette is back in town for good, she's a single mom and a nurse in the burn unit I accidentally wind up in.

Can you call that fate? Maybe, if she wasn't doing her best to stay far away from anyone who reminded her of her past, especially a career hotshot like me. But I know something she doesn't; life rarely offers second chances. So, if this is my chance to finally make things right, I'm taking it.

Take a deep breath and let go of the reins.

Cecilia CeCe Ashby is finally escaping the toxic relationship that has consumed her entire adult life. She's returning to her hometown of Laurel Creek, Kentucky, and to her family's equestrian ranch, unsure of what the future holds.

Nash Carter, the newly retired superstar of the Dallas Stars, is Laurel Creek's hometown hero, local business owner, and notorious bachelor. He's also the unofficial fourth sibling in the Ashby clan. It's been years since his days of tormenting CeCe with her older brothers Wade and Cole. So, when CeCe needs a job, he feels drawn to help her.

Nash can't seem to take his eyes off of his best friend's sister, and it seems she's been staring right back, but with animosity left over from his childish teasing back in the day. Despite their initial reluctance, the fire between them ignites, and it isn't long before they jump into the flames.

Always ride faster than your angels can fly...

Gabriel Wolfe, the fallen dark angel and club president of the Hounds of Hell MC. His life has been infused with darkness and trauma since the day he was born, forcing more than just desensitization to violence and chaos. Forcing him to crave it to feel stable. Secure. Whole.

With only a handful of people he cares about, his family, the ones that don his cut, women are just a tool, a means to an end. Never to covet, only to use. Each one blending into the next.

The formula he lives by is simple.

Death is at your door. You are a soldier of bedlam.

Nothing more, nothing less...

Until the moment a little hummingbird sees something she shouldn't and gets stuck in his crosshairs, forcing him to feel something he hasn't felt for as long as he can remember...alive.

Let the hunt begin.

Her heart is wild. Only he can capture it.

When Cole Ashby is appointed Laurel Creek's interim sheriff, he is determined to prove himself as the best man for the job. A devoted single dad, his goal is to lay steady roots for his young daughter.

As the daughter of a Kentucky congressman, Ginger Danforth's life has always been about neat appearances. But inside, she's dying to break free and embrace the sense of adventure that runs through her veins.

During a wild weekend in Las Vegas, Ginger and Cole play a game of truth or dare and, after a few too many drinks, find themselves hitched in a neon-lit chapel. With no quick way out, they strike a deal: stay secretly married until Ginger's father is reelected and Cole lands the sheriff job permanently.

But as the pair are forced to spend an increasing amount of time in each other's company, sparks continue to fly and their accidental marriage starts to feel dangerously real.

Until they forget they were ever pretending at all.

As president of the Hounds of Hell motorcycle club, my life has been infused with darkness and trauma since the day I was born. Chaos is my birthright. I crave it to feel stable. Secure. Whole.

The only people I care about are the ones who don my cut.

Women are just a tool.

Never to covet, only to use, each face blending into the next.

The formula I live by is simple.

Death is always at my door.

I am a soldier of bedlam.

Until a little hummingbird flies into my crosshairs, and I'm forced to feel something I haven't felt for as long as I can remember...alive.

Let the hunt begin.
