Heart Truth by Debra Kayn

A damaged man.

Eight years ago, Derek "Bull" Crue had a choice—marry Lila or go to prison. He did what any man would do in his position. He signed the marriage certificate, left her on the courthouse steps, and rode away on his motorcycle with the promise to return when she grew up.

But life has a way of slapping good intentions out of him.

He went to prison, changed his name, and joined Killere Motorcycle Club. Now, as vice president, he wants his wife at his side. But will he be able to hide how much his past has damaged him while keeping her safe?

Poverty, charity, and forgiveness have only gotten Lila so far in life. She wants more, and she's not afraid to work hard.

So when the famous Chef Canaty awards her an opportunity to work with him at his Spokane restaurant, she jumps at the chance to escape her hometown and the reputation tied around her neck.

A new location. A new job. Lila can finally forget about her past.

Until a familiar but bigger...
