Justice Lonesome arrives in Carnal, Colorado with nothing but grief and her family's curse of restless searching. She's lost the foundation of her old life and seeks peace in the mountains. Deke Hightower rides with a motorcycle club and has learned to expect little from life after losing everything twice over. He lives on the road because that's the only place he can breathe freely. When Justice and Deke meet, the attraction runs both ways. But Deke keeps his distance. He knows Justice comes from wealth and comfort while his world revolves around his bike and the open highway. Justice accepts whatever connection Deke will allow because she wants him despite the boundaries he sets. She's willing to take scraps of his attention rather than walk away. Everything changes when Justice becomes a target in someone else's dangerous scheme. Deke must choose between his carefully guarded independence and protecting the woman who has quietly claimed his heart.
