The one thing Kicks doesn’t need in his life is to fall in love…
The night Kicks woke in the hospital with fresh scars and a missing eye was the night he promised he would never, ever let himself be vulnerable again. And as the Road Captain of the Broken Chains MC, he managed to keep that vow for five long years. But the universe has different plans for the biker when his President sends him on a mission to escort the rabbi, Jude Burns, who is now under the protection of their club. Kicks doesn’t want a babysitting job, but he’s not sure what to think when he’s faced with a mouthy, stubborn man who seems far more sinner than saint.
Kicks has never in his life felt more tempted to break his promises, because with this man, his vulnerability feels like power.
Jude Burns’ world is turned upside down when his brother gets involved with a motorcycle club, and by proxy, he finds himself in danger of being killed. And after being shot at on the road, and just barely escaping a fiery death, Jude isn’t sure where he belongs. He’d spent his entire adult life dedicated to his service as a rabbi, after all, even when the temptation of life outside called to him louder than ever.
And Jude knows the decision would be easy if it weren’t for Emilio—the dark-eyed Road Captain who makes Jude question every vow he’s ever made. Jude was pretty sure he wasn’t destined for love the way his brother was, but when Emilio falls to his knees and asks him to stay, he finds it’s almost impossible to tell him no.
Even if it means walking into the line of fire to save a man with ragged, broken wings.

Stealing Ronan wasn’t the plan. I’d never imagined I’d steal a boyfriend from my sister, but when I saw him strutting to my couch with his perfect body, gorgeous face, and that mouth—God, that mouth, it was like he was plucked from my wettest dreams and brought into my life just for me.
Lusting after a straight guy who’s dating my sister is a problem in itself, but the bigger problem comes when he’s invited on a family trip with us for Christmas. Just as I thought I was doing a pretty good job ignoring his soft lips and curious gazes, we’re hit with a furious blizzard, leaving me and Ronan locked up together. Alone.
We’re only snowed in for two days, but things heat up quickly, because it turns out I’m not the only one with a fascination.

Dallas was a naive, not to mention underage, kid when he met the omega he would eventually marry. He liked that Luke was older than him, since he seemed to know a lot more about life than Dallas. He tried hard to make his traditional marriage work, but there were some things he discovered about himself during that time. He truly loved affection and liked when someone else took control, so he didn’t have to be the only one making decisions… and he wasn’t attracted to omegas. That last part was a secret he kept during his miserable marriage to a man who was cold and sometimes even hateful and cheated on him pretty regularly. It was a secret he kept years after his son grew up and moved out. And he kept it long after Luke passed.
He is fine with continuing to keep that secret because he feels like revealing something like that will prove what he always knew. The horrible disconnect in his marriage had been his fault. It’s fine. He doesn’t need romance anyway. He has a grown son who is soon to be married and a grandbaby on the way. He owns his own candy shop and he’s being contacted to expand. Everything is fine… until he meets Jayse and his son Andy.
Jayse is a much younger alpha who is distantly “related” to his son’s boyfriend, and he’s everything Dallas could want in a man. Unfortunately, there are people in this world who aren’t meant for happily ever afters, and Dallas knows he’s one. Friendship is all he can ever have with the younger man, and he’ll just have to remember that… even when Jayse offers to show him what he’s missing. He has to say no, right? Right?
