A kiss, a few whispered words, and Abbey Channing suddenly finds herself choosing between her duty and her heart A twenty-four year rookie cop in Mesquite, Texas, Abbey Channing is just trying to navigate her way through life--something that would be a hell of a lot easier if she didn't know Micah Thomas, the vice-president of the infamous Black Asphalt MC. There's no love lost between the police and the club and Abbey never thought in a million years that she might stop to even give those thugs a second look... ... until Micah. Charming and devilishly handsome in his leather vest and ripped t-shirt, Micah had come into Abbey's life on a sun-kissed afternoon with a single searing look that stole her heart and left her sighing in his arms in a reckless night of passion. But when she learns of a planned operation against the Black Asphalts, she find herself caught in a bind and forced to choose between her duty and her heart.
