A single night and nothing more. I found my handsome stranger with a shot glass and charming but devilish smile at the end of the bar. The desire that hit his eyes the second they landed on me ignited a spark inside me, instant and hot. He was perfect and everything I didn’t know I needed. That one night may have ended, but I left with much more than a memory. Four years later, and with a three-year-old in tow, the man I still dream about is staring at me from across the street in the town I grew up in. I don’t miss the flash of recognition, or the heat in his gaze. The chemistry is still there, even after all these years. I just hope the secrets and regrets don’t destroy our second chance before it’s even begun.

    It was even darker when the one person you needed was the last one you should ever want. Reyes was a lot of things, but most importantly he was my best friend’s brother as well as the local motorcycle club’s president. Reyes was tall, brooding, six foot four inches of tattooed perfection. Basically, he was every women's walking fantasy.

Although I was left picking up the pieces when he left me in his wake. But, I found myself running to him and begging him for the safe haven I knew only he could provide.   Reyes I was the president of the Grimm Brothers MC, and I’ve wanted my sister’s best friend for years.
