He'd given up on feeling anything at all.
One punch changed everything.
Laura "Detroit" Harris thought three thousand miles would keep Kentucky—and her dangerous ex—behind her. She was wrong. Desperate and out of options, she walks into a biker bar and comes face-to-face with Diesel, a man who buried his heart twenty years ago.When her fist connects with his jaw, it awakens something primal in both of them—a recognition between two damaged souls who understand that sometimes love comes with blood on its knuckles.
But Diesel isn't just any biker. He's a Skull, part of a brotherhood that protects its own with brutal efficiency. And when Laura's past comes hunting, the Skulls deliver their own brand of justice. The kind that doesn't come from a courtroom.
As Laura and Diesel navigate explosive chemistry and haunted pasts, they discover that second chances don't come clean. They come with baggage, bullets, and a love worth killing for.
Because in the world of the Skulls, family isn't about blood—it's about who's willing to bleed for you.
A dark, explosive romance where broken doesn't mean worthless, where family is chosen not born, and where love means never having to hide your demons—just teaching them to play nice with his.
