Scorching heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and swoon-worthy moments abound in this sexy new standalone romance by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster.

What happens when youโ€™re not looking for love, but it walks in the door?

Madigan Wickedโ€™s heart is not up for grabs. Sheโ€™s been there, done that, and sheโ€™s not going back for seconds. She pours her heart and soul into her family, her greeting card line, puppetry, and storytelling performances. But sheโ€™s not opposed to having a night of fun, and the gruff, sinfully hot, definitely-not-looking-for-love mysterious stranger she runs into at a bar might be just the right man to enjoy it with.
Ex-con Tobias Riggs has lost enough for one lifetime. The only family member in his corner doesn't remember him, and the people who he thought would always be in his life, walked away. Heโ€™s just trying to make it through each day, and the last thing heโ€™s looking for is any sort of connection. When chemistry ignites with the snarky, sexy storyteller, with lips he can't stop thinking about, he gives in to a night of passion.
Though neither is open to love, itโ€™s been known to bully its way into even the most resisting hearts. But can it survive the wicked truth of Tobiasโ€™s dark past?
About The Wickeds: Dark Knights at BaysideSet on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you havenโ€™t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. These men are wickedly alpha and intensely loyal, but they are not alphaholes.

Oh, my! Tobias Riggs has completely captured my heart. From the moment of his introduction, his character consumed me. I needed to know what drove him and learn of the demons that haunted him. Recently released from prison, he came to the Cape to be close to one person who always believed in him. He had no intention of forming a connection with anyone. But then Madigan Wicked, with her confident and sassy nature, captured his attention. He knows he should stay away, but the intense connection between them drew them closer.

Now they both had no interest in a committed relationship. So it was quite interesting to see them so into each other. A relationship which began based solely on sex became so much more.ย As for Tobias, little did he know Madigan would be the woman to change his life.

Despite being hurt in the past, she possessed a light that encompasses all who get to know her. She shined her light into Tobiasโ€™s darkness, and you know what happens when light meets dark. In the end, he gained more that he had lost after going to prison.

Tobias held his pain close and only allowed Madigan a sliver of a glimpse into his past. So as their relationship grew in intensity, I waited with bated breath for the revelation. It was heartbreaking, but it helped to kick-start the healing process.

Family played a huge role in the story, which of course came as no surprise. Madiganโ€™s family opened their hearts to Tobias, providing him with a sense of belonging. They showed him what it meant having a family, people who will have your back, even when you feel you donโ€™t need it. This gave him the strength to face his own demons.

Besides the scorching sexy moments, readers should prepare for fun, flirty and sexy banter. Also, fair warning, one may need a box of tissues while reading.

I really enjoyed reading about the Dark Knights and canโ€™t wait to get my hands on the next book. Fans of the author will enjoy The Wicked Truth. Also, readers of contemporary romance who have yet to read a book by Foster, the Dark Knights, will be a good starting point.ย
