ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 1, 2025

Cayden Russo is chasing redemption. Once known on the streets as Boost, he is cocky, reckless, and untouchable. The kind of man who could steal anything but his own freedom. Now he’s out on parole with four months left to prove he can live straight. No cops on his tail, no engines running hot, no slipping back into the shadows that nearly destroyed him…

Trixie Romero should know better than to hire a man like him. She inherited her Abuelo’s luxury car and motorcycle business and has built it into an empire by keeping her hands clean and her heart locked tight. But Cayden is more than an ex-biker with scars and swagger. He’s temptation wrapped in oil and fire. She should keep her distance. Instead, she lets him in. First into her dealership, then into her bed, and finally, into the one place she swore no man would her heart.

But love doesn’t erase sins. And Cayden’s past doesn’t just knock at the door, it kicks it down. When enemies come for Trixie this holiday season, he has no choice but to drag her into his world of lies, vengeance, and blood. To protect her, he’ll burn the last of his freedom and embrace the darkness he tried to outrun.

This is a story of desire turned dangerous, passion born from ruin, and a man who will destroy everything in his path to claim the woman who makes him believe he’s worth saving.
