When their hatred ignites into something neither can deny, the stakes become impossibly high.

And when threats from her past collide with Dax's world of leather and loyalty, he'll have to protect his team or claim the woman who's turned his life upside down. He's an enforcer who's never lost a fight. She's a coach who's never backed down from a challenge. Together, they're either going to win it all—or destroy each other trying. In Whiteridge, Montana, the only thing hotter than the ice is the chemistry between enemies who were always meant to be lovers. Perfect for fans of alpha bikers, workplace romance, enemies-to-lovers tension, and happily-ever-afters that earned their scars. less
