Once, he had been my entire world. If he'd asked, I'd have given up every dream and plan I had for him. But he hadn't asked. The day we lost Vanna, his mother, and the closest thing I'd ever had to one, I'd lost him too.
Eighteen years later, I'm back in Florida, trying to create a new life for myself after a year of going through the motions since my husband's death. It's probably best we don't know the future because I wouldn't have walked into that bar if I'd known my eyes would collide with the boy who had shattered me long ago.
But Rome wasn't that boy anymore. He was a biker with a leather vest, tattoos, and piercings.
While I'd been mesmerized by the man he'd become, all he'd had to say to me was that I had gotten old. Leaving to never step foot back there again, fate plays a cruel twist where the new life I thought I'd found turns out to be a lie constructed by someone I trusted most, and the only one to save me is a biker named Tex.
