Cross: I'm the guy whose name brings fear into the hearts of even the hardest men. They call me Cross because I've killed enough men to fill a cemetery, and I never saw any problem with that. Until a woman I hardly remember brought my 11-year-old daughter that I didn't know existed to my doorstep and left her for me to take care of.
At first, my daughter was a complication I didn't need, but now I'll do everything I can to raise her right. I'll even stay away from her hot-as-sin guidance counselor Roxanne, who makes me feel like I'm 20 again, and not pushing 40. Which isn't to say I wouldn't show her what a real man can do with a woman like her.
Roxie: My father was the president of an outlaw MC, and until I turned 21, a world of bikers, mayhem, and crime was all I knew. Then a rival gang destroyed it all, killed my family and everyone I held dear, and made me the property of a brutal, ruthless man. I ran away, got an education, and haven't looked back.
Now I'm the guidance counselor at a small-town junior high school, my old life so far behind me it might as well be someone else's past, and I was happy to leave it there. But then I met Cross, the bad-boy biker father of one of my wayward students. He makes me yearn for the life I lost, crave all the excitement that used to be my everyday. Makes me want to be a bad girl again, if only for one night. But I won't go down that road again. It doesn't lead anywhere good.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
I found this to be an interesting story. Roxie lost her family and tried to stay hidden so that she would be safe. She trained and took a job as a school psychologist which brought her into Cross' world. I enjoyed her intelligence, willingness to go for something that provided heat and comfort, though she had her secrets tucked in close. Cross was willing to make some changes when he became a father but struggled with that duty. He cared very much for his daughter, Lily, as well as his club. Danger, surprises, and love had me waiting to see how it would all work out.
The narration by Stephanie Rose and Aiden Snow were entertaining and added to this story. I truly enjoyed their performances.
This is my unsolicited review.
