In the small, quiet town of Shadow Cove, appearances hide dark secrets - and new beginnings can spark deadly games. Eden Rose, a dedicated physical therapist and the sheriff's daughter, never expected to cross paths with a reckless motorcycle biker with a criminal past. When Ripley King saves her from being drugged at his nightclub, a dangerous obsession ignites. His tattoos and leather-clad danger draw her in, but his involvement in illegal activities threatens to destroy everything she loves. As Ripley's need to claim her grows, Eden fears her carefully crafted world, her family's reputation, and her sense of safety will come apart. She aches to believe in their love, but the darker truths of Shadow Cove-her father's world and Ripley's secrets-push her to the edge. Can their passion withstand the chaos, or will the weight of her fears bury them both before they even have a chance? The Rose and the Crown is the first installment in the Good Girls, Bad Boys series - a pull-no-punches tale of desire, danger, and the fight to trust in a small town where everyone's hiding something.
