Player comes by his name honestly. He earned his name when he joined the Archangel's Warriors club well over a dozen years ago. Unlike his club brothers and other MC friends, he isn't looking to settle down with one woman or to have a family. Dreams like that are for others, not him.

A chance meeting at the club's bakery one day has him thinking about Saylor, the woman he meets and who knows one of his club brothers. Her challenges in life intrigue him, but he doesn't want to be. He has no intention of giving her the time of day. A one-and-done would be fine, but she isn't that kind of woman. He can see that from a mile away.

Saylor has survived a lot over the past four years. Things that would kill a lesser person or have them give up. Not her. She battles courageously onward with her sidekick, her dog, Freya. She's determined to live her life to the fullest, even if her ultimate dream of a loving husband and kids is highly unlikely.

Player's attempts to deny his feelings have him making stupid choices. It takes one of those, combined with her almost being killed, to make him see he's gone and done what all his married friends and brothers have done. He's fallen head-over-heels for a woman. He wants her forever, but will he be able to convince her after the things he did to show his disinterest in her? Ones that come back to haunt him after he stops fighting the inevitable. He has other-woman drama, a disbelieving Saylor, enemies who come back to finish what they started with his woman—to kill her. And a past he has to face that has been hidden even from his club.

Player becomes the doting man of her dreams, and Saylor is the Juno, the warrior of his. Their path isn't smooth, but in the end, it will be built on a rock-hard foundation. If only the world and others would stop interfering. However, when you combine a reformed womanizer with a former Marine, nothing is impossible. They'll be a couple no one can separate.
