Piper lives in a man’s world. She’s always been involved one way or another in the dangerous world of her family. She’s never been taken seriously. Because women should be seen and not heard in that business. Needing to be taken seriously Piper makes a name for herself. A deadly name.
Ezra has always loved working on cars. He’s exceptional at his job. He also does work for Keir.
Which involves being on the wrong side of the law at times.
I liked both Piper and Ezra. Piper is a strong and capable woman. She’s tough and no nonsense.
Ezra is low key and quiet. Mellow and doesn’t cause waves. But don’t let his quiet demeanor fool you.
He’s no pushover and will do what needs to be done. 
I liked how they both affected each other. Ezra brought out Piper’s softer side.
She brought out his protective side. And both showed their green eyed monster. 
I really appreciated how Ezra accepted Piper for who she is. And what she does.
There wasn’t too much drama in their relationship. 
Just Piper needing to be vulnerable and taking a chance on a man. Letting her guard down and Ezra in.
