He’s worked hard to keep his criminal record a secret, but when the news breaks that his abusive father will soon be released from prison, his past threatens to catch up fast. Letting a woman into his world would only make her a target.
But when a nasty crash brings Ryah Nolan into his life, all bets are off.
Psychology student Ryah Nolan doesn’t trust easily.

But despite his gruff exterior and need for speed, Xavier makes her feel safe.
