At age ten, Clarice Stuart is rescued from a potentially traumatizing experience by a mysterious stranger who seems to appear out of nowhere and then disappear just as suddenly. Fifteen years later, on a cold November night on an icy mountain highway as Clarice is on her way to her parents' home for the holidays, a black clad rider on a black motorcycle deliberately strands her on the highway. 

While Clarice waits for help to arrive, miles away her parents and brother are brutally murdered in their home. At the funeral, a man approaches her and offers his condolences, claiming to be a friend of her brother's. Clarice has a sense of recognition but can't place where she might know him from.

As a precaution, three deputies are assigned to watch over Clarice until it can be determined whether or not her family was a target or simply victims of a random attack. Staying at her deceased brother's home, Clarice soon learns that even police protection can't save her from the evil that took her family. When her family's attacker appears and kills the three deputies who were meant to guard her, Clarice is certain she will die as violently as her parents and brother. But standing face to face with the killer, she is shocked to be staring into the face of her recently dead and buried brother.

Before he can take her life as well, the black rider appears and saves her from the fate of her family. It is then that she realizes that the black rider is the man from the cemetery - and her guardian from the past. Suddenly she finds herself and her guardian in a deadly, terrifying game of cat and mouse with a killer who won't stay dead.

NOTE: This is a complete story, so it won't be distracting me from my other works-in-progress :)

That is until a drunk driver killed her parents. At 17 she finds herself alone and venerable. Enter Craig Brown, known to his MC buddies as "Wrecker." He's older than her and she sees him as her savior - until it turns out he's anything but. Now 24 years old, 6 years into a name-only engagement, Delilah finds herself broken with no light at the end of the tunnel. One night after sneaking out to visit a friend, Craig tracks her down. And that's where things get interesting.... Trevor Kozik, known to his Army and MC buddies as "Axe," has always been known for being a standup guy. And he really HATES bullies. When he sees Craig lay hands on Delilah from across the club, something inside him snaps into place. He knows now that Delilah is meant to be his; to protect, love, honor and cherish. Now he just has to prove it to her and get her on board with his vision of their future. Too bad that's going to be easier said than done. (This is an HEA with no cheating)
