I’m Kody Maxwell, a man who’s known too much grief for one lifetime. Love once held me in its grip, only to be ripped away when I lost the girl I thought I’d spend forever with. After that, I buried myself in my music, but inspiration vanished, leaving me empty.
Then she came crashing into my life.
Jessie Ryan is everything I’m not—a fearless, motorcycle-riding whirlwind who thrives on danger. Her wild spirit draws me in, even as I try to keep my distance. But behind her fierce independence is a beauty with a voice that reignites my creativity. The songs I thought were lost come pouring out, and only Jessie can bring them to life.
The attraction between us is undeniable, but letting myself love again terrifies me. Jessie has her own battles to fight, and as secrets unravel and shadows loom, we’ll have to decide if love is strong enough to overcome the obstacles we both face.
