Synopsis
"Paisley Hope is a masterful storyteller, with plenty of heat and so much heart-wrenching romance." —Kristen Proby, New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Hounds of Hell MC President Gabriel Wolfe is as jaded as they come. His motto has always been: Always ride faster than your angel can fly...But when Brinley Beaumont runs back to her hometown and right into his crosshairs, Wolfe begins to feel something he hasn't felt for as long as he can remember: alive. Gabriel is the fallen dark angel and club president of the Hounds of Hell motorcycle club. His life has been infused with darkness and trauma since the day he was born, forcing more than just desensitization to violence and chaos. Forcing him to crave it to feel stable. Secure. Whole. With only a handful of people he cares about, his family, the ones who don his cut, women are just a tool, a means to an end. Never to covet, only to use. Each one blending into the next. The formula he lives by is simple. Death is at your door. You are a soldier of bedlam. Nothing more, nothing less… Until the moment Brinley Beaumont flies into his crosshairs. She seems so down to earth and pure-minded, but he can see the dark desires that she's kept hidden for so long. Brinley isn't about to get involved with this brooding alpha male, no matter how attracted to him she may be. Until he starts calling her his "little hummingbird" and she discovers he can give her everything she's always craved.
