Summer Lewis can't catch a break. An overworked single mom, she's struggling to make ends meet. The one bright spot is her favorite customer at the diner where she works―the big, tattooed Reese.
But the dark spot in Summer's life threatens to blot out the sun. Her ex is a member of a notorious motorcycle club, and they refuse to leave her alone.
Reese Haven hasn't been home in almost two decades. Burdened by the weight of his mistakes, he's convinced he can't return. Instead, he uses his skills for good―protecting clients through his private security business.
