*****
Four years. Four long years. That was how long it had been since Miriam Harper last saw Brad McMahon. Even though the memory of Brad's betrayal remains raw in Miriam's mind, she still longs for his touch, for his strength, and his comforting arms. She wants him back, even though every part of her knows how bad of an idea that is.
To make matters even more complicated, Miriam has been carrying a secret for the past four years, a secret that could threaten her position with the Speeding Seraphim.
When Brad makes a surprise visit to Miriam's home, she discovers that she's not the only one with secrets, and that she's not the only one who risks losing everything.
*****
The town of Pecan, Texas is known for three things: sweet tea, hot summers, and the Blue Mustangs motorcycle club.
Sandy is the only daughter of Atticus Rivers, president of the Blue Mustangs. Twenty-two years old and having grown up around her father's rough crowd, she could shoot straighter, drink harder, and ride better than almost any of the men she knew.
Any man... except for Christian Belz.
Sandy knows that Christian is trouble. He's the up and coming vice president of the Mustangs and unlike the rest of the club, isn't afraid of letting his opinions be known to Atticus. Unsurprisingly, Atticus has taken a strong dislike to Christian and forbids Sandy from being involved with him in any way.
But Christian's wildness is drawing Sandy in until she find herself flustered around him. When he offers to take her on a ride one summer night, Sandy isn't about to say no, even if it means risking her father's anger and compromising Christian's future with the Mustangs.
*****
When Sandy took up the invitation by Christian for a summer night ride, she thought nothing of it. She certain never thought that her father Atticus--president of the Blue Mustangs MC--would take matters in his own hand and do something to keep the two of them away from each other.
Then she got a call from Christian. A call that told her he was clinging to the edge of life.
Defying her father's orders, Sandy offers to look after Christian until he's strong enough to take care of himself. But there's a reason that Atticus means to keep Christian away from Sandy, a reason that he harbors a deep-seated dislike for the man. As Sandy spends more and more time around Christian, she's inching closer and closer to revealing that reason...
And some secrets were meant to be buried forever.
