Piper

I came to Hawthorne to disappear, to escape the clutches of a dangerous life and the man who still haunts my dreams. But Luke's intense gaze sees through my disguise, his touch ignites a hunger I can't deny, and his strength offers a haven I desperately crave. Falling for him is a risk, one that could expose my secrets and bring the violence of my past crashing down on us. Can I trust him with my heart and my truth, or will our passion become a deadly inferno consuming us both?

Luke

I'm a man defined by my scars, both inside and out, finding solace in the bottom of a bottle. Then she walks into my bar one night, a vision of innocence with a fire smoldering beneath the surface. I need to possess her, to protect her, to unravel the mysteries she holds so close. But claiming her might mean confronting the darkness I've tried so hard to bury.

When their worlds collide, will their passion ignite a love that conquers all, or will their secrets burn them to ashes?
