BLURB

The first day that she walked onto the surgical floor that Chevy Clayborne spent most of his time on, he knew that he’d do anything to make her his.

For two years, he played the long game.

He slowly insinuated himself into her life, and the moment that she needed him, he swooped in like the knight in shining armor that he only pretended to be but most assuredly wasn’t.

He’s no real knight.

In fact, he’s the villain in everyone’s story but his own.

He lives life the way he wants to live it, and damn anyone and anything that gets in his way.

He may appear like an upstanding anesthesiologist at work, but the moment he gets out of those scrubs and into his jeans, biker boots, and leather cut with the Truth Tellers emblem at his back, he morphs into his alter ego.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ain’t got nothin’ on him.

He’s been putting on a front for two years, and just when he has Aella Cowan right where he wants her, he closes down every possible avenue of escape.

He thinks he has a future fight on his hand, but Aella proves that she’s not quite as sheltered as Chevy thinks. She’s perfectly happy being the old lady of one of the scariest members of the Truth Tellers Motorcycle Club and couldn’t care less if he spends his nights doing questionable things to despicable people.

As long as she has breakfast with him every morning, what does she care how he spent his night?

This was an enjoyable read that had us smiling and laughing from start to finish. Chevy and Aella are a perfect match, with Chevy being the quiet, grumpy type and Aella the vibrant, caring, and kind-hearted one. Aella's feisty personality was just what the doctor ordered.


The plot is filled with non-stop family drama, wicked characters, surprises, and secrets, making it a compelling read that we thoroughly enjoyed. The characters are engaging and lovable, and the ending is perfect for the couple.


Aella's twin sister, Silver, is an interesting character, and we hope to see more of her in future stories. This book was the perfect read to get us out of a reading slump, with Chevy and Aella's chemistry off the charts. Their interactions are filled with laughter, and there is never a dull moment.


The theme of found family and amazing friendships adds depth to Aella's story, and Chevy's care and support for her create heart-melting moments throughout the book. Overall, this story had us hooked and left us wanting more.
