Levi "Painter" Brooks was a nobody until he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he donned the club's colors, the bikers became his brothers, and the club's affairs became his life. All that is required of him in return is a strong hand and unconditional loyalty - a loyalty that is tested when he is arrested and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on behalf of the club. Melanie Tucker may have had a rocky start, but along the way she learned to fight for her future. She escaped hell and started a new life, but every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she cannot forget. It all started so innocently - just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe. Now Painter Brooks is returning home... and Melanie will soon learn that there is no room for innocence in the Reapers.
