For two years, Ryder "Pope" Kane has guarded Mara DeLuca from the shadows, bound by the final words Marco spoke while dying in his arms.
Pope leads the Hellbound Saints MC and rarely lets guilt rule him, yet he has loved Mara for seven years, since before she married his best friend.
He has kept his distance from the curvy widow because touching her would feel like the worst kind of betrayal.
Then Mara announces she is selling the restaurant and leaving town, and the time he bought with silence runs out.
He can watch her leave with his secret buried, or tell her the truth and risk losing her forever.
