As part of the Tri-State Federal Task Force, Daniel Finnegan, road captain for the Blue Avengers MC, is investigating the Deadly Demons, an MC trafficking drugs into Pennsylvania. When he reluctantly goes undercover as a dancer with an all-male revue at a club recently purchased by the outlaw bikers, he comes face to face with Melina Jensen.
As manager of The Peach Pit, Mel could be an important asset for the drug task force with her unfettered access behind the scenes. Unhappy with the way the Demons are destroying the business, it doesn’t take much for Finn to convince Mel to work with him as a confidential informant. Even though becoming a CI for the task force isn’t without risk, Mel’s willing to help in any way she can.
To give Finn better access to The Peach Pit and the illegal dealings without raising any red flags with the MC, they start to “date.” Only, what starts out as a fake relationship ends up being anything but. Until eventually, neither can no longer dance around the truth.
However, once Mel’s safety is threatened, it’s up to Finn to find a way to protect her without blowing the entire investigation.

Chapter One
“What the fuck!” Finn screamed at the ninety-six inch TV. “That was clearly holding! You refs are fucking blind!”
“Jesus, dude, you’re going to stroke out,” Monty warned as she bumped his leg with her knee.
He lifted his legs out of the way, but only enough to allow her to squeeze by on her way to the other couch. “Seriously, you couldn’t go around?” He dropped his boots back onto the scarred and battered coffee table.
“I could’ve. But I didn’t.” The twenty-six year old prison guard sank down onto the empty couch to his left, cracked open a can of IC Light and took a long swig.
Three large couches were set up in a U and he was sprawled out on the center one so he could see the Pittsburgh Steelers game perfectly. This afternoon they were playing the Baltimore Ravens and he hoped his team gave their rivals a bad spanking.
Finn wrinkled his nose at the beer she was drinking. “There’s better beer in the fridge.”
Danielle Montgomery rolled her green eyes. “If I wanted another brand, I would’ve grabbed another brand, genius.”
“I wonder about you sometimes,” Finn informed the only female member of the Blue Avengers MC.
“Well, I wonder about you all the fucking time.”
