The town of Pecan, Texas is known for three things: sweet tea, hot summers, and the Blue Mustangs motorcycle club. 
Sandy is the only daughter of Atticus Rivers, president of the Blue Mustangs. Twenty-two years old and having grown up around her father's rough crowd, she could shoot straighter, drink harder, and ride better than almost any of the men she knew. 
Any man... except for Christian Belz. 
Sandy knows that Christian is trouble. He's the up and coming vice president of the Mustangs and unlike the rest of the club, isn't afraid of letting his opinions be known to Atticus. Unsurprisingly, Atticus has taken a strong dislike to Christian and forbids Sandy from being involved with him in any way. 
But Christian's wildness is drawing Sandy in until she find herself flustered around him. When he offers to take her on a ride one summer night, Sandy isn't about to say no, even if it means risking her father's anger and compromising Christian's future with the Mustangs.

Ellie Thorn and Rex Pershing have been friends since they were children. It was about the only thing their fathers--presidents of two rivaling outlaw biker gangs--could agree on: whatever rivalries between their motorcycle clubs may have didn't extend to the children.
But that was ten years ago.
Rex is starting to realize that the chubby girl he'd known all these years ago has become a beautiful, sexy woman in her own right. Likewise, Ellie has been eyeing Rex with some less-than-holy thoughts of her own. She wants him, his smile that made her heart flutter on sight, his strong tatted body, and his devil-may-care attitude.
But when Rex's father Manny Pershing--founder and president of the Siouxan Brothers--comes home from San Bernadino county after ten years and hell-bent on winning back the territories his club ceded to Ellie's father Xander, both Rex and Ellie will find that the agreement their fathers made when the two were children is no longer valid. Can their love survive the bitter grudges of their fathers?
