His motorcycle is the one thing that never asks more than he can give. Then he meets Eira. Fierce. Magnetic. Beautiful in a way that leaves imprints. She’s just left an abusive relationship.

Until Andrew limps into her ER. He’s confident. Unpredictable. And completely unafraid to chase what he wants. What begins as playful teasing quickly turns into nights full of passion, laughter, and late-night texts that peel back their defenses, leaving them wondering if love can be as safe as it is thrilling. Both have been burned. Can they learn to trust again? Eira must decide if surrendering to Andrew and the life he promises is worth the risk. And Andrew must choose to risk it all by putting his full trust in one person.
