Synopsis

Young and beautiful Miranda Morgan is the daughter of a prominent Augusta attorney. She could have her pick of men if she didn't mistrust them. Once a victim, she is now a strong, healthy, independent woman who is baffled by them and would just as soon mock as admire them. When en-route home with her best friend, they run out of gas and are stranded on a lonely country road. With an injured ankle, Miranda must wait while her friend walks for help. When two biker brothers deceptively offer help, her love of motorcycles leaves her vulnerable. After a scuffle and a blow to the neck, she wakes up in their home where she is presented to a big man known to the bikers as Ben.

He too has been observing her, watching her personality come through bit by bit as she lets her guard down. He grows a fondness for her and as they become friends and trust grows between t
