At first glance, they don't belong together. But love is all about what happens beneath the surface…

In Dan Carter's experience, pretty, rich women don't look twice at rough tattooed men. Not for anything more than the thrill of an illicit affair, anyway.

Which is exactly what he expects of quiet, elegant Dr. Emma Sullivan.

But looks can be deceiving. And it isn't long before Dan discovers that beneath Emma's reserved exterior beats the heart of a passionate woman with a tortured past.

A woman who might finally prove to Dan there's more to love than just heartbreak… if he's willing to risk looking deeper than just the surface.

Inside the walls of Thorns　Roses is the only place Hunter Maddox can truly be himself.

The only place he can get on his knees for another man, the only place he can surrender himself to the likes of Ethan Stephenson. In the club, they are a perfect match, one needing pain as much as the other needs to give it.

Outside the club, it's a different story. As the president of Overdrive MC, Hunter is used to operating on the opposite side of the law from Detective Stephenson. They have nothing in common—and everything keeping them apart.

Until they're faced with an unimaginable horror plaguing their town. Now, they'll have to wade into each other's worlds if they have any hope of saving the people they care for the most.

And of finally letting the love they've kept in the dark for so long out into the light.
