He's the Chief of Police walking the line between justice and corruption. She's the one woman he swore he'd never touch. But when a single night blurs the line between duty and desire, how long can they resist before crossing it for good?

Ace
It's Christmas in Broken Bend, which means one thing -- the annual Policemen's Ball. Normally, I'd skip it without a second thought. Being both a cop and a secret member of the Tempest Knights MC means I prefer to keep a low profile. But after a department-wide corruption purge left me holding the badge as interim chief, I can't afford to fade into the background anymore.

If I want to keep this job -- and this town -- safe, I need to play the part. The new mayor insists I show up to the ball, and not just solo. He' a "family man" and all about image, which means I need a date. A girlfriend.

Only problem? There's just one woman I've ever wanted. Annie Wright. My best friend's little sister. Off-limits, untouchable... and the only person who could make pretending feel real.

But I'm sure Torque will understand if I borrow his sister for one night. Right?

Annie
I've loved Asa "Ace" Campbell for as long as I can remember. But he's my older brother's best friend -- the one man I was never supposed to want. Didn't stop me from dreaming, though... or saving my heart for him.

And when I move back home after college, I finally get my chance. Ace needs a fake date for the Policemen's Ball, and since I'm one of the few who know his secret -- that the Chief of Police is also a hidden ally of the Tempest Knights -- I say yes without hesitation.

One night, pretending to be his girlfriend? I can handle that. Except nothing about the way he looks at me feels pretend.
Then, when danger strikes and Ace has to rescue me from a rival MC, we both realize the truth -- what's between us isn't an act, and one night will never be enough.

Can I convince him that love isn't a weakness... it's worth every risk?

The Tempest Knights MC is packed with morally gray heroes who'll do whatever it takes to protect the women they love. If you crave fast-paced, insta-love romance with a touch of suspense and a HEA -- jump on, hang tight, and enjoy the ride.
