Armed with self-help books, cheap wine, and a cart full of comfort food, she heads to the grocery store determined to spend the next few weeks working on herself. Then the shooting starts. Jonas "Crusher" Mark thought he left his old life behind years ago. A former member of the Devil's Descendants motorcycle club, he's built a new life in New York and has no interest in revisiting the violence of his past.

The last thing he expects to find is Vanessa. One glance at the fiery, curvy woman, and Crusher is hooked. One brush-off from Vanessa and he's determined to learn more. When a violent attack turns an ordinary grocery run into a fight for survival, Vanessa and Crusher are forced together. What begins as a single terrifying night quickly spirals into a deadly journey involving outlaw bikers, buried secrets, and enemies who will stop at nothing to settle old scores. Crusher has spent years running from his past. Now his past is coming for both of them.
