First published 2014
Sophie Barrett lives in near poverty with her eight-year-old son Noah. The boy's father Zach abandoned them years ago, leaving his stepbrother Ruger as Noah's only steady male presence. Ruger is a tattooed member of the Reapers Motorcycle Club who witnessed Sophie's awkward first time with Zach eight years earlier. When Ruger discovers how badly Sophie and Noah are struggling financially, he decides to intervene. He brings the power of his motorcycle club to bear, determined to provide better circumstances for his nephew whether Sophie agrees or not. Sophie never planned to raise her child among outlaw bikers, but Ruger refuses to back down. He will be there for Noah regardless of her objections. The situation grows complicated because Sophie has harbored feelings for Ruger since that embarrassing night years ago. She wants him despite knowing the risks. Now she must navigate her attraction to a dangerous man while protecting her son's future. Living with the Reapers means entering a world where getting involved with a biker comes with serious consequences.
