Love at First Ride

She's everything he wants. He's everything she can't have.

When care home nurse Hallie Palmer, eldest daughter of Canyon Bay's mayor, discovers a young, injured boy hiding in the back garden of her workplace, her first instinct is to help him.

But when the police come knocking, she can't bear to hand over the vulnerable boy. She denies any knowledge - and it changes everything. Little does she know, the young boy's older brother is Ajax 'A.J.' Callaghan, a mechanic and a member of a motorcycle gang.

As her decisions sets her on a collision course with Ajax, and a runaway road trip, they realise they couldn't be more different. The caring, gentle nurse, with the oiled-up, rough-around-the-edges biker isn't the match the mayor would approve of for Hallie.

But as the American state-crossing road trip unfolds, could it be more than just engines revving..?

A spicy enemies-to-lovers biker boy romance, for fans of Ali Hazlewood and Penelope Douglas.
