Tyler Campbell is rescued from having his butt handed to him by Jessica, a courageous biker bartender with gorgeous ink. Jess is a single mom, her life taken up by raising a son and keeping away from her ex. Tyler is the first man who's truly looked at her in a long, long time, the first to make her remember what passion is.

Though she recognizes that Tyler's a playboy, she sees something else in him, a pain he's kept hidden from all, even his close-knit family. Jessica doesn't believe she'll ever have anything with Tyler, but when she needs help, she risks all by seeking him in a little Texas town called Riverbend.
