He’s the reckless biker everyone warns you about — tattooed, sharp-tongued, emotionally closed off, and impossible to read. But behind the leather jackets and dangerous reputation, Eli has spent years secretly in love with his girl best friend, hiding his obsession behind teasing, loyalty, and late-night rides. He’s always been her protector, her safe place, the one she calls when everything falls apart — while silently suffering through every guy she’s ever wanted except him. At a party game of spin the bottle, watching another man try to kiss her finally pushes him past his breaking point, forcing the feelings he’s buried for years into the open.
