After seven years of going through Hell, adjusting to a new life, a new town and new people are the least of Zoey's problems. First of all, she has to learn how to breathe again, how to stop her body from reacting to any touch, no matter how small, and how not to flinch at every noise. She has to learn how to no longer be an empty and haunted shell. She must find a way to silence her demons so she can learn what it means to be alive. But surely the old and rickety bridge on the outskirts of the city, a hidden, forgotten and unsafe place, which she finds by chance, does not make her job any easier. Not when the swirling cold waters beckon her with a sweet song to abandon all her fears, to drown her demons and end her suffering. For good. Who would have thought that the most unsafe place in town would end up being her second safest place? Who would have thought that in the place where she was so determined to lose her life, she would discover a reason good enough to fight? The appearance of Maverick Black was never part of her grand plan, but the arrogant, deep-voiced, sinful man, with too many masks and a charming smile manages to awaken in Zoey everything she thought was stolen from her. Everything she has come to believe is forever gone. True knights ride blood-red motorcycles and not pretty, white, horses.
