Aria
Aria and Sebastian are wildly different in every way but the one that truly their love for one another. But their newfound happiness is about to be torn apart.
ARIA
Aria's anything but the girl next door. She's a tall, strong woman, a transgender beauty in tight leather and goth makeup who doesn't take shit from anyone. When she's not building custom motorcycles, she's out riding her own, helping out at the biker bar owned by the older couple she considers her would-be parents, or alone in her apartment, reading, painting, or playing her guitar. She's had her heart broken too many times to believe she'll ever find love or happiness, and the demons of her violent past will never stop haunting her.
SEBASTIAN
Sebastian's world burned down around him six years before, taking from him everyone and everything he loved and leaving him with deep physical and emotional scars. After wandering through a guilt-fueled hell of alcohol and drug addiction, something called him back from the brink of self-destruction. A quiet, big-hearted man and a genius with numbers, all he wanted after climbing out of the pit was to live in lonely penance of his past sins until death finally claimed him.
FIRST LOVE AFFAIR
When Aria confronts Sebastian over her motorcycle, he tells her something no one else ever "You're beautiful." Those words rocked her world, dousing the anger that had been her constant companion for as long as she could remember. While two people couldn't be more different, they fit perfectly together and Aria soon found herself falling into her very first love affair with a man she was crazy about and who was crazy about her. For the first time in her life, she knew what it was to be happy
At least until the nightmare of a past they unknowingly shared caught up with them. After Sebastian is kidnapped by the criminal cartel she once worked for, Aria and those who care for her unleash hell on wheels to save him and seek revenge for all those the cartel had murdered and enslaved.
Author's This novel contains several scenes of explicit sex and violence.

I've read a lot of this authors books (Michael Hicks). All of them have been great stories including Aria.

What an emotional rollercoaster! I wasn’t ready for how invested I’d become in Aria and Sebastian’s journey. The writing is sharp and cinematic, with action scenes that feel straight out of a movie. Aria’s character, fierce, flawed, and beautifully human, is one of the best written heroines I’ve ever read. This isn’t just romance; it’s about survival, forgiveness, and fighting for the right to love who you love.

Another great read from this author!
In Her Name by Hicks was the first book I read on my Kindle and I stayed up all night finishing it! This book captured me the same way (writing this in the middle of the night). Great characters and nonstop action.

Great Read
As always you amaze me with your writing Micheal R Hicks. You have certainly stepped outside the box with Aria but in the best way possible.
