Five years ago, Dally Prewitt vanished from Ember Ridge on the eve of her wedding, leaving Kannon Latimer standing alone with a ring he never got to give her and a club full of men who never forgave her.

Now she’s back as the county fire marshal, assigned to the same salvage yard that once belonged to the Iron Draw MC—and to the man she never stopped loving. The warehouse is a crime scene. The burn patterns scream arson. And the first piece of evidence she finds is a melted pocket watch that should have been buried with Kannon’s younger brother.

Kannon has spent half a decade building walls of indifference and agreeing to a marriage that will save his club’s last legitimate income. One look at Dally and those walls start to crack. One shared secret and the entire foundation of the Iron Draw begins to shake. Old lies about her father’s disappearance, a rival club circling for blood, and a forced engagement that was never about love pull them into a web neither of them can escape alone.

Every truth they uncover costs them something. Every moment they steal risks everything the club has left. And when the next fire lights, it won’t just be buildings that burn.
