Dozens of motorcycles crested the hill, their thunder reverberating across the valley. They stopped in sync, boots hitting the ground as riders rushed toward the scene. The lead biker, a towering figure with “IRON…
Sophie didn’t lift her gaze. “Isla taught me,” she murmured. “She visited my dream last night. She said her father would crash, and I’d need to save him.” The injured rider was Jonas “Grizzly” Keller, heading home from a memorial ride when a pickup forced him off the road.
