She built a new life under a name that wasn't hers.
Now the man determined to protect her may be the one person standing in her way.
Four years ago, Maya Rodriguez disappeared.
She took her young son, a duffel bag, and a name that wasn't hers and buried everything she knew about the people she was running from.
Blackthorn Gap was supposed to be temporary.
Instead, it became home.
Then the Copperhead Motorcycle Club discovers the truth.
Maya knows more about Renner Freight than anyone in the Gap. She knows the routes. The language. The people behind the doors Copperhead has spent months trying to break through.
And she knows exactly how to get inside.
Scout Carlisle has spent his life moving.
As Copperhead's road captain, he knows every back road worth taking, every place worth avoiding, and exactly how much distance to put between himself and anything that might make him stay.
Then Maya gives him reasons to stop.
A woman finishing her shift at the diner.
A little boy who thinks motorcycles are the greatest machines ever built.
A home Scout never knew he wanted.
When Maya volunteers to infiltrate the organization Copperhead is at war with, Scout has one answer.
No.
The problem is, Maya stopped letting men make decisions for her a long time ago.
Now she is walking back into the world she escaped, carrying the club's best chance of ending the pipeline destroying Blackthorn Gap.
Scout can protect her.
He can fight for her.
But if he truly loves her, he may have to do something much harder.
Trust her.
Because this time, saving Maya doesn't mean keeping her out of danger.
It means standing exactly where she tells him to stand while she walks straight into it.
A fiercely protective biker. A single mother with everything to lose. One dangerous undercover operation. And a love strong enough to survive the truth.
