Dr. Kyah Starling built her life around saving animals. Her emergency vet clinic is spotless, controlled, and hers alone.

Then a stranger arrives at two in the morning carrying an injured pit bull and wearing blood, rain, and black leather like a warning sign.

Xoren is dangerous. He runs the Iron Veil Motorworks club and leaves flowers, anonymous donations, and proof that he has been in her life far longer than she realizes.

Kyah should be terrified of him. Instead, she cannot stop being drawn to him.

A rival gang running a dogfighting operation closes in on the clinic, Kyah is pulled into Xoren's world of motorcycles, secrets, loyalty, and blood. But wanting him does not make him safe.

Xoren has waited years for Kyah to see him.

Now she must decide whether he is the danger she needs to escape or something she has been afraid to choose.
