Undaunted - by Melissa Marr (Paperback)

About the Book

"Aubrey Evans has always had a plan and her admittance to her dream school, Reed College, is the next step in her carefully constructed world. But when her father is indicted for embezzling and her mother is selling everything she can and hiding the profits, any money for her tuition is gone. Sent to live with her grandmother in rural Williamsville, Tennessee, Aubrey is just trying to get by and save enough money to get her back to Reed. But her plan never included Zion, a member of the local motorcycle club, the Southern Wolves or his flirty cousin Noah, who always manages to make her smile"--

Book Synopsis

Following in the tradition of Kristen Ashley, Joanna Wilde, and Jay Crownover, this first novel in a sexy, dark New Adult series tells the thrilling story of a young woman who finds herself drawn to a Southern motorcycle club's inner circle--and a dangerously hot biker.

Aubrey Evans needs to get her life back on track after her father is indicted for embezzlement. She'll save college tuition money, hightail it out of small-town Tennessee, and steer clear of hard-muscled boys on motorcycles. Yet there's no ignoring someone like Zion. A knight in black leather, Zion looks like every bad idea she's been told to avoid, but she can't resist him. Whenever she's in trouble, he's there. Appealing as his rough exterior may be, it's the protective, principled man beneath that tempts her like crazy.

Zion knows Aubrey doesn't intend to stick around. She claims to want only friendship, but he senses there's a naughty girl hiding on the inside--one whose intense desires match his own. For now, he'll be patient and play by her rules. Though he knows it's just a matter of time before he weakens her resolve.

As they join forces to figure out who's behind a local crime spree, it's clear that the danger goes deeper than Aubrey guessed. And when she needs someone tall, dark, and undaunted to keep her safe, Zion intends to be there--now and always.
