The Innocent

A new beginning can lead to unexpected encounters, especially when the past refuses to stay buried. In The Innocent, Amelia Shea delivers a contemporary motorcycle club romance filled with emotional tension, second chances, and the complicated attraction between two people from very different worlds. Imogene Peppercorn moves to a new city hoping to build a better life. With a new job and the opportunity to start over, she expects a fresh chapter. Instead, loneliness makes settling in more difficult than she imagined. What she needs is a friend, and an unexpected encounter brings someone from her past back into her life. Zane “Jekyll” Pierce has recently been released from prison after spending two years away. Returning to the Killcreek Drifters Motorcycle Club, he is focused on reclaiming his freedom and finding his place in the life he once knew. A reunion with Imogene is the last complication he expects. Jekyll remembers what he left behind, including Imogene. Although their connection is difficult to ignore, he believes she has no place in his dangerous motorcycle club world. With the club facing its own challenges, he must decide whether keeping her at a distance is really the best choice. Through Imogene and Jekyll's developing relationship, readers encounter themes of second chances, loyalty, personal history, trust, and love across contrasting lifestyles. The story combines romantic suspense with motorcycle club drama and character-driven relationship development. This book is suited to adult readers who enjoy contemporary romance, MC romance, protective biker heroes, reunited connections, emotional relationship conflicts, and stories featuring strong club communities. It is the third installment in Amelia Shea's Killcreek Drifters MC series.
