Havoc lives for the road and the Devil's Crown MC. As Road Captain, danger is part of the job and attachments are liabilities he buried the day he lost his old lady. Love cost him everything once. He swore he'd never make that mistake again. Then Ivy steps into his path. She's an outside hired to bring color to the Devil's Crown compound. She isn't impressed by his reputation, his cut, or his growl. She stands her ground, challenges him, and sees straight through the walls he's spent years building. Havoc should keep his distance. Ivy should walk away. Instead, sparks fly. When a rival MC targets Ivy to make a statement, Havoc is forced to face the truth he's been running from. She isn't just a distraction. She's his weakness. His fire. His second chance. Saving her means risking a club war. Loving her means opening old wounds that never truly healed, but some things are worth bleeding for.
