When Clydesdale breeder Rowan Hale’s trailer axle catastrophically breaks on a deserted road, she’s stranded with her horses and forced to call the only shop open: Mercer Custom Cycles.
Shop owner Kade Mercer — secret MC president — personally responds. He witnesses Rowan’s calm command over panicked draft horses and becomes consumed with possessive fascination. Her strength triggers something ancient and brutal in him.
Kade begins inserting himself into her life under the guise of protection — servicing her equipment, running ‘security’ near her farm, isolating her from potential suitors. Rowan fights the pull. His control feels too much like the past she escaped… yet the danger he radiates makes her crave release from the constant pressure of independence.
Power clashes turn into raw desire. Connection becomes captivity — emotional before physical.
Ultimately Rowan must choose whether surrendering to Kade means losing herself…
Or finally being allowed to stop holding everything together alone.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
