Can a bad boy set on revenge find a path to redemption? Everything about the man cloaked in shadow tells her to stay away-his black as night leather jacket, the bitter smell of cigarettes, a warning in his gold eyes when he rejects her outside the frat house. The ruthlessness of his fists when he defends her honor. But Ivory can't ignore her intuition that something is haunting Adrian from the dark. She's going to find out how to help, even if it means burying her hidden desires once and for all. There are certain things we shouldn't want. She was one of those things. Someone with a past like his shouldn't corrupt a future like hers. Her heart of gold, coupled with the ability to reach right through his hard exterior, are reasons enough for him to stay away. He's finally found the clue to solving his father's murder, but meddling between rival biker gangs will put his family-and Ivory if she gets too close-in danger. They can't be together, even though being apart proves to be just as impossible. Ivory deserves a dominant worthy of her submission and Adrian knows exactly what she needs. In the end, this can only lead to ruin...or love, if they're strong enough.
