Welcome to the Dark Horse Dive Bar, where the Wildes throw one hell of a party and love could be a barstool away!

When Lyric Wilde's not whipping up the best food in town at the Dark Horse Dive Bar, she's making a name for herself as a rising singer-songwriter.

And while he fantasizes about a peaceful life with beautiful Lyric by his side, he knows that until his mission--to take down a murder-for-hire network--is accomplished, his dark world is no place for her. But when frightening encounters and threatening text messages from a stalker bent on keeping Lyric all to himself and his most wanted criminal target his sultry songbird, he will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves...
