Ethan doesn't do attachments. He does engines, steel, and silence.
Owning Heathen’s motorcycle shop means control—over machines, money, and himself.
Staying in control comes easy. Feelings do not.
When Cora wanders into his life with a downcast gaze and a past she won't name, he offers the only thing he's good at: sex without strings, no promises, no love. And since his Fairy Girl is new to town, some short-term companionship until her clipped wings grow back.
Though Cora’s never been touched by a man, she agrees. And if she wants more than a friends-with-benefits setup and hot sex, she keeps it to herself.
Smitten by her beauty, Ethan enters the agreement full throttle…but soon realizes that Cora won’t be walking away unscathed.
And neither will he. At some point, Fairy Girl breached his defenses. Time to cut ties.
Not yet, but soon.
Some men are built to break women. Others are wrecked by them.
