Comp:
“Don’t let the scars of your past define who you are in the future.” Yeah, I’ve heard that all before. But what they don’t tell you is how impossible that is when you look in the mirror and see those same scars every day of your life, right there on your face. Yeah, not so easy to get over. Then she comes running into my life, a ray of sunshine followed by a wildflower… and I fall hard. The last thing I want to do is tie her down to a beast like me. The only question is, will I be able to hold the beast back from his soulmate?

Sunny:
Being on the run from a crazy ex trying to take my daughter is bad enough. Running into a motorcycle club and falling for a broken biker might be even worse. Comps determined to push me away, and I won’t beg any man for anything, ever. But when he’s kidnapped, and it’s all my fault, I can’t help but wonder if I’m the one that’s broken, that’s damaged? I know we belong together, and I will do anything in my power to make him realize it. That is, if he can get over his past scars, and I can outrun mine.
