The Biker the Sheriff Was Meant to Hate

For fifteen years, Kingsmen president Silas Vaughn has let Amber Falls know him only as the Judge, carrying blame for a death he will not explain because the truth would cost people he would die to protect.

He treats any chance of love as a liability and offers distance instead.

That distance fails when a county commissioner binds interim sheriff Briar Doyle to a task force and sends her into his world day after day, the man her father spent ten years trying to bring down.

Briar buried her father beneath a warning to avoid the club and everyone in it, and she is expected both to investigate Silas and to hate him.

The town's settled account of him fails under her questions, and she begins to suspect that her father chased the wrong enemy all along.

When Silas is framed for murder and imprisoned to take the fall one last time, Briar alone keeps fighting for the truth and for the man who has never fought his way home.
