Leather & Lily

A by-the-book councilwoman with a life of calculated moves. A ruthless biker club treasurer who lives by his own code. What happens when the only man who can save her dream is the one man who could shatter her world?Maris Vayne is a woman defined by precision and control, but her pet project-a community center for the town's youth-is her one vulnerability. When a corrupt developer threatens its demolition, she finds herself outmaneuvered and desperate.
In a town that runs on back-alley deals, her only hope lies with the Verdis Vipers and their enigmatic treasurer, Soren Holt-a man who is the very antithesis of her polished world. Their arrangement is a dangerous bargain forged in dust and desperation. Maris came for Soren's influence, but it's his hypnotic presence and the unspoken, illicit current between them that truly threatens her carefully constructed life.
Drawn into a world of leather and secrets, she discovers a raw, primal connection that ignites a desire she never knew she possessed. But as a scandalous enemy threatens to destroy everything they've built, Maris must decide how much she's willing to risk. Can she surrender to a passion that could save her town but destroy her reputation, or will the secrets they both hide prove too toxic to survive?
