About the book

From the publisher

In a war between a cartel and a motorcycle club, their love is the only road left to take.

Ashes Crowe has spent his life being honed into a weapon for a legacy he doesn’t believe in. As the son of the ruthless leader of The Fallen motorcycle club's Texas chapter, disobedience isn’t just a betrayal, it’s a death sentence. Nothing has ever been worth the consequences of breaking free.

Until her.

Inés Castillo was supposed to be a bride, but now she’s the Ventura cartel’s most valuable prisoner. She’s learned to outplay powerful men her entire life, and when a dangerous biker becomes her one chance at freedom, she doesn’t hesitate to take it.

Ashes should walk away. Instead, he breaks her out.

One choice is all it takes to ignite a war.

What starts as a rescue turns into a desperate escape across the desert, with a cartel at their heels and The Fallen hunting Ashes down for treason. With every mile, the line between duty and desire blurs, and the woman he freed becomes the only thing worth sacrificing it all to have.

If they want a future, they’ll have to survive and decide if the road to love is worth the sacrifice and ruin it brings.
