DETOUR

Aubrey thought she had her future mapped out—until one betrayal shattered everything. With nothing left to hold her in place, she packs up what remains of her life and heads for California, chasing a fresh start and a chance to breathe again.

But somewhere along a dark, empty stretch of road, her car gives out, and so does her plan.


Rooster wasn’t looking for trouble—or a woman with haunted eyes and nowhere else to go. As a member of the Iron Demons, he’s used to chaos, loyalty, and living life on the edge. But Aubrey? She’s something else entirely. Soft where he’s hardened. Lost in ways he understands too well.


With no money for repairs and nowhere else to turn, Aubrey accepts Rooster’s offer to stay—just until she can get back on the road.


What starts as a temporary arrangement turns into late-night conversations, slow-burning tension, and a connection neither of them expected. But Aubrey’s future still lies hundreds of miles away, and Rooster’s life is rooted in a world she never planned to be part of.


Falling for him was never part of the plan.


Neither was staying.


Now Aubrey has to decide—keep running toward the life she thought she wanted, or risk everything for the man who feels like home.


Some detours… change everything.
