Nora Bennett became a cop for one reason: to find out who really killed her father, Officer Daniel Bennett, in a case the department closed as "gang violence, unsolved." Three years later, fresh out of the academy and already marked as too small, too soft, too green to survive real police work, Nora is ambushed during a routine stop and left for dead on the outskirts of town. She's saved by Kane Ryder — president of the Iron Wraiths motorcycle club, the same club her father's case file names as the prime suspect. What starts as a debt neither of them wants becomes an undeniable pull. Nora is drawn into Kane's world of loyalty, violence, and a code of honor the department could never understand — even as her investigation starts uncovering evidence that the Iron Wraiths didn't kill her father. Someone inside the police department did, and the club has been the department's cover story for eight years. As Nora falls deeper for the man she was trained to hate, she has to decide what she's willing to burn down for the truth — her badge, her department, or the man who might be the only person who ever told her the truth about her father.

She signed the contract to save her freedom—only to lose it to him. When Aria Hale is wrongfully arrested for a crime she didn’t commit, her life shatters in an instant.

What begins as a ruthless arrangement turns into a twisted game of passion, control, and buried secrets. Julian is a man of rules. Aria is a woman with fire. And the deeper she falls into his world, the harder it becomes to remember who she was before she was… cuffed to his command. But when the truth about their past surfaces, and enemies circle from all sides, Aria will have to decide: Is she still his prisoner—or has she become something far more dangerous?
