Breaking Away
Chase Halloway’s father is the president of Atlas, the drug-dealing motorcycle gang that terrorizes most of our desert town. My stepfather turns out to be a rival drug dealer, and I’m pretty sure he killed my mom two years ago.
I’m not supposed to fall in love with Chase. He’s not supposed to know I even exist. But when he finds me, he can’t let go. And when I find myself in his arms? I hold tight. I have to. Because if I don’t, I might just die.
It turns out my stepfather has plans for me. Plans that make dying look like a walk in the park. He’s selling my virginity to a Mexican drug lord to get out of debt. Chase just found out and is here to take me away to safety. To the ocean. To my dreams. But while I’m gone, a murder takes place back home. The police call. I’m the prime suspect. And if I go back, I may become the prime victim.
I’m alone, tied up, bleeding, and terrified. A prisoner at the Atlas motorcycle club compound. Someone kidnapped me, and it looks like it’s Chase. No one knows I’m here. They can make me disappear. Or worse – it turns out there are worse things than disappearing. Something flickers in Chase’s eyes, though. A glimmer of love. Everything I am is in his hands right now. And those hands are about to touch me.
