Mallory Stevens is no stranger to the police lights flashing through her living room window. With her husband presumed dead, she finds the chains of grief draped on her shoulders once again. With the advice from her boss on a loop in her mind, will she break free?

Do something you would never do.

Baxley, a member of the motorcycle club, the Royal Roosters, is taken by surprise at opening night when he sees her. Starting a new relationship, he hides the truth of his past until it walks back into his life swinging.

He erases her sadness, and she makes his pain fade. Both question if life will grant them happiness or take it away.
