Struggling to walk the straight and narrow path after his old lady overdosed on painkillers and vodka almost a year ago, the only consistency in Jim’s life is the strong bond he shares with his brothers of the Steel Talons MC. Susan McGregor is keen to impress her colleagues. A paramedic trying to secure a full-time position with her ambulance crew, Susan knows it's only a matter of time until someone calls for help from the wild biker parties on the outskirts of town. At the right place at the right time. When an accident sends Jim's bike crashing against a streetlight, he finds himself in front of Susan. Though his physical injuries are superficial, his psychological wounds begin opening up under the tender lingering touch of a woman who seems too prim and proper to ever fall for a rough biker. With only so many hours in a day who will give first, the girl or the biker? less

With the Devils making a serious push in Talons territory and the Steel Talons president Ari worsening things with his rash actions, it's up to Jim to keep the fragile peace. The job's hard enough for him to do without Susan invading his thoughts. Susan's facing a crisis of her own. When her father is admitted to the hospital, it seems to jump start a new flood of problems that are threatening to bury Susan under. Worse, her newfound relationship with Jim has cast an uncertain shadow over her future medical career. They must come to terms with who they are or risk losing it all. Neither Susan nor Jim finds it easy keep away from each other. But just how true can they remain to who and what they are when everything in their worlds seems hell-bent on ripping them two of them apart. Can they bridge the gap threatening to rip the two apart or will they always be on opposite sides of the law? EXCERPT: She clutched at him for dear life, and strangely, this felt more intimate than when they had sex. She was pressed against his back, and unlike getting laid, she had to put complete trust in his ability to keep her safe. She didn't like giving up control, especially to do something she had sworn she never would. He increased his speed gradually as they continued, and stray hairs blew out of her clip, flying around her face in the brisk wind that felt fresh on her face. He turned a corner, and the bike leaned. Susan nearly panicked as he leaned with it, and she had to lean with him. She was sure they were going to skid across the ground any second, crushing their legs beneath the heavy bike, but he righted it and sped down the street. Overwhelmed, Susan looked from side to side, noticing the buildings they passed streaking behind them. She’d never noticed how quickly the world went by in a car, and now, she wondered just how fast he drove. But it didn't matter; he held steady, and she loosened her hold on his waist just a bit so air could flow between them and cool her. The sensation made her throw her head back, and for a moment, she didn't seem to be connected to the ground. The machine that vibrated beneath her disappeared with the road, and the wind carried her body. She closed her eyes and imagined clouds floating beneath her, and it made her laugh out loud. less

Grasping for just a hint of normalcy, he finds himself reeling through memories of his past and the lone anchor in his life, the single person who can help him lead a normal life free from the ghosts of his past is nowhere to be found after the shootout. Susan is having second thoughts about it all She's reconsidering being with Jim after finding out about him being involved in the shootout. But try as she might to tear herself away from him, she can't deny the feelings still lingering in her heart--feelings that urge her to give him another chance. There's more at stake than either of them wants to admit When news of the shootout reaches the Feds and the Steel Talons find themselves in deeper hot water than they already are. With the situation going from bad to worse, Jim is determined to right every wrong he's caused--with the club, with himself, and with Susan. Will they survive this one final ride? Or will it all come crashing down around them? Excerpt Susan looked drawn, concerned, and angry. Jim wanted to ask her if there was something bothering her, but at the moment, he wanted to pretend she was just that upset at finding him this ill. “You didn’t answer my calls,” he rasped, each word making his head throb worse. “I bet you didn’t even listen to my voicemails.” She pressed her lips tightly together, and it made lines appear around her eyes and mouth. “I haven’t answered anyone’s calls or heard anyone’s voicemails. I haven’t felt like having company. Besides, I’ve had other things to tend to lately.” Her voice was detached, aggravated, and distant. “Talk to me, Susan. Tell me what’s wrong.” He wanted to fix her, whatever was wrong. If that meant she was going to rail at him for his behavior, so be it. That meant she cared, and he deserved the punishment anyway. Then, when she was done, they could erase everything that had come between them, kiss, and make up. less
