Adelaide Sway knows how to survive.

Escaping a life of crime was supposed to be her chance at freedom, but instead, she's found herself in a new kind of entanglement-one where outlaws feel like home. Working at the Silver Stag Gentlemen's Club, she dances under the neon haze to fund her escape, determined to leave her secrets and everyone she's ever cared for behind. Except for the Hope she holds on to.

But the past doesn't let go so easily. Nightmares keep her tethered to the man she fears most. Some days, it's easier to feel nothing than to feel too much. Other days, even the emptiness is unbearable. And today? Today is one of those days where the weight of it all threatens to break her. Trust isn't an option, and love is out of the question.

Until him.

A hardened member of the motorcycle gang her brother swore loyalty to shatters the walls Adelaide spent years building. As their worlds collide, Adelaide must confront the scars she's hidden, the promises she's broken, and the truth she's buried deep enough to follow her to the grave.

In this dark romance of betrayal, redemption, and secrets that burn, one question remains: can Adelaide risk her heart when her life is on the line?
