My bitter past ruled my life. I was running on empty and didn’t give a damn.
I wasn’t interested in redemption. Definitely not love.
Until now.

Sixteen years ago I barely survived my old man’s murder, and I promised myself that never again would I surrender my heart. I ran away from our hometown in South Dakota and never looked back. I didn’t want any kind of second chance. I didn’t want anything. I didn’t deserve anything.
But that all changed in one night.
Forced to return home, I crashed into Lock, a sexy, brooding stranger. I indulged. No risk. No harm.
Wrong. Wrong. Oh, so wrong.
He was no stranger. And the past and present blew up in both our faces.
Caught in the crossfire of two bike clubs’ rivalry, our one night of hot and delicious quickly turns cold and ugly. Forced to strike a bargain, I’m a pawn in a dangerous and deadly game. Secrets, lies…ah, but I’m good at those.
So why does it hurt so much?
Because now I feel things I’d forgotten about, want things I thought I’d cut out of my insides. I see it in Lock’s haunted eyes, feel it in his touch—that same hurt, that same want.
Love not only stings when you lose it, when it’s ripped away, but when it first sinks its teeth into you, it can cut just as raw and sting just as deep.
Now that sting won’t stop, and I don’t want it to.
But the game just got real dirty, and Lock and I are on opposite sides. Will we come out alive? And even if we do, what will be left of our mangled souls?
Once I had nothing.
Suddenly, I have so damn much to lose.
