"Paisley Hope is a masterful storyteller, with plenty of heat and so much heart-wrenching romance." --Kristen Proby, New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author

The Hounds of Hell motorcycle club takes care of their own...and every once in a while another rebellious soul catches their eye.

Sean "Ax" Hunter is both a former marine and Sergeant at Arms for the Hounds of Hell MC. His mind works like a twisted hamster wheel. Dates, facts, faces, memories, are all vivid and constant. Nothing holds his attention long, until the night a Georgia storm forces him into an upscale club and suddenly his attention belongs solely to her. Layla Monroe, the rebel without a cause, just trying to stay afloat after her parents' tragic death. A death that is surrounded by both unanswered mystery and shocking truth. The sins her parents kept covered up ran deep enough for Layla to question everything she's ever been taught, but they also keep her fighting her attraction to this monster she shouldn't want. The type of monster that just might be responsible for her loss in the first place.

Working for Sean doesn't seem like the smartest idea but when he promises to pay her enough to cover the rest of her schooling, she can't resist. All she has to do is make it through two weeks of helping him heal and resisting the urges she keeps feeling every time he's near her. Layla is convinced her knight in shining armor isn't destined to come riding in on a Harley, but maybe fate has other ideas.
