VI

When Y/N inherits her aunt’s old roadside bar in Raven Creek, she expects a fresh start — not secrets, danger, and a dangerously protective sport-bike rider named Kade Mercer. Kade is cold, tattooed, and impossible to read, but he made one promise before Y/N ever came home: keep her alive. As rival crews start circling The Rusted Halo and buried truths begin to surface, Y/N finds herself pulled into a world of fast bikes, loyalty, jealousy, and danger. Kade tells himself he’s only protecting her because of a promise. But every stolen glance, late-night ride, and almost-kiss proves one thing: Some promises become obsessions.
