About this listen
This story isn’t for the faint-hearted—or for anyone who thinks they’ll simply listen to a few chapters and go to bed. It’s an up-all-night, soul-searing ride of sin and salvation. A brazenly sexy tale of a sinner and a saint who must fight through hell to claim each other.
This book explores dark themes. Please heed the trigger warnings before listening. Your mental health matters.
They warned me that the very sight of me would incite a side of Maverick I would want to flee in fear of. But I had no place else to go. My only option was to brave his wrath to survive.
His darkness reaches into me, pulling at something raw, something I don’t understand. With every word he slays me, his every touch burns along my skin. He breaks down my walls, igniting my fiery temper all the while laying bare desires I was never meant to feel, much less act on.
Beneath the fire and fury, I glimpse the cracks in his armor and the man he’s desperately trying to hide. But the longer I stay, the harder it is to tell where my survival ends and his begins.
To want him is to risk everything—to give him my heart is to risk the last thing I’m holding on to with a deadly grip: my life. The only way to survive may be to surrender to the fire, let it consume me, and pray I come out the other side.

Stone was my best friend. My protector. My everything. Until he wasn’t. Kids like us didn’t have the best life, riddled with trauma, bounced around in a system that didn’t want us and couldn’t handle us. In our darkest hours, we had each other. Until we didn’t. We tried to hold on to what little we had. Maneuvering the rough waters of our circumstance. Until I couldn’t.

That is until he comes face to face with the enigmatic stranger who's been watching him from afar.

Agent Bradly "Wolfe" Tucker has one case he cannot solve: six murdered women and a cold trail leading nowhere. When bodies with an eerily similar MO show up in Philadelphia, he volunteers to assist with the case. He figures he will spend a few days in Philly, hand the case off, and head back to his life in Seattle. But everything changes when he stops at a local bar, looks across the room, and sees her. Agent Leda Bailey has had a bad week. She has three dead women and no trail to follow. The clues don't add up, and nothing makes sense.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again. I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here. I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans.

Now my should-be ex-husband, Ramsey Stockton, the former pro football star turned felon and hero who left this town—and me—behind years ago, is at my door offering me a deal with the devil. If I let him stay and play his wife again for ninety days, he’ll give me a quiet divorce and his family ranch—the one my inn is on. When I scoff at the idea, he offers a million-dollar bonus to help my business float through this rough patch, but only if I’m his.

My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me. Except for Lyla James Marichal. She didn't look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain. Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away. She was completely unattainable, and I became obsessed with her. When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side.

A million stars - WHAT A STORY AND PERFECT NARRATION
This was my first MC romance, and it was GOLD. My TBR will now be filled with MC romances. This story was captivating from start to finish. The love was beautifully written; the tragedy masterfully conveyed. And Joe Arden NAILED the narration (as usual). I want to listen to this book over and over again.

Excellent narration and a great story!
I'm pretty picky about narrators and I very rarely like both the MMC and FMC but these ones were perfect!

First time listening to this author and I have to say I love every single page of this story. Broken souls who found their way to heal. Awesome narration. I always enjoy listening to Joe Arden. He brings this book to life. The Female voice I haven't heard before but she did a good job. Glad it was duet.

Great book with twist
Love the romance, and twist and turns. Great performance and storyline. It’s a duet so man’s voice for the male characters and women’s for the women’s characters.

The Performance Lit the story on fire
What an amazing performance, truly it makes a huge difference when reading/ listening to a book! Especially when dealing with dark subject.
The story is amazing, filled with suspense and so authentic and raw!
The MC life is not all flowers and chocolate, we see the dark side and real day to day activities, the inner dynamics of a House club.
Over all 10/10! Chefs kiss
