This is book 1 in the Midnight Syn MC series. True confession time - I have a weakness for Motorcycle Club romances! I guess I never COMPLETELY got over my "bad boy with a heart of gold" phase. In case you aren't familiar with the MC trope, let me give you one very important piece of information - there are those MC books in which the club is trying to "go legit" (trying to distance themselves from illegal activities) and those in which the club is a part of the 1% (clubs that are shady and make no effort to change things). This one leans more toward the 1% side of things but only "so far." (Example - when given a chance to run a brothel, Khan rejects the idea.)
Khan has a reputation both with other clubs for his temper and with the ladies for his . . . prowess. When the club president, Oz, takes a deal that will leave him locked up for a significant length of time, Khan suddenly finds himself voted in as President by the rest of the club AND acting as guardian for Oz's daughter, Emma.
Billie loves her job as principal at an exclusive high school and her husband's extended absences while deployed allow her to kid herself about the state of their relationship. Her best friend Lucy is persistent in trying to get Billie to see that Brad, the frequently absent husband, has mentally and emotionally beaten her down into a completely different person than the carefree woman Billie used to be.
When Billie and Khan meet it's all about Ella, Khan's "ward", and the possibility of her attending the elite school where Billie works. But even though the first meeting isn't about them at all, neither one of them can deny that there is chemistry. Billie just chalks it up to the fact that her husband has been gone for six months and she's lonely. Khan doesn't understand his response to Billie at all since he tends to be the "love 'em and leave 'em" type. And thus the slow burn begins.
Khan learns secrets about Brad that leave him extremely concerned about Billie's safety. TRIGGER WARNING - Brad's extreme reaction to seeing Khan in Billie's office is the final straw that drives Billie to leave her husband and file for divorce. But Brad isn't satisfied with the marriage ending in that way. He has different plans.
Khan and Billie agree that there is definitely something between them but they decide that they will not sleep together until her divorce is final. The temptation is very real for both of them but Khan manages to shut things down before something happens that either one of them might regret. But when Billie is finally free, will she need the time to get reacquainted with herself? Or will Khan merely assume she needs that time and drive her away before their love has a chance to grow?
A slow-burn, cliffhanger, the story continues in the next book of the series which is simply titled Khan Part 2 and I can't WAIT to get my hands on it!
