When wounded Myla Hyde reaches the Iron Flames garage with records that could bring the Black Thorns MC down, the club turns to Grant "Gunner" Johns, its calmest and most exacting protector.
She carries names, routes, and proof that someone close to Iron Flames has been feeding their enemy, yet after surviving the Black Thorns once she will not trust the club with any of it.
Confined with her in a remote safe house, Gunner must guard a woman who keeps every answer locked down while the rival club hunts her.
He teaches her how to defend herself, and she makes it plain that not everything worth keeping safe can be handled like a mission plan.
Forced proximity and an attraction neither of them can ignore turn her protection into something personal.
The Black Thorns are still coming for the witness in his care, and missing is not something Gunner does.
