Synopsis (Goodreads):
Alice’s life…
…is falling apart. She’s penniless, jobless, and a week away from being evicted. Every last ounce of her misery can be dropped on the doorstep of one man—Loki, legacy member of the Gravediggers MC and tattooist at House Of Payne. One way or another, she’s going to make that monster pay.

Loki’s life…
…turns upside down when a long-legged beauty flips him onto his ass like she’s an escapee from a bad kung-fu flick. He has no clue who Alice Halliday is, but he’s determined to change that.

Their lives…
…are getting complicated. The vulnerable woman Loki sees hiding beneath a tough exterior fires up his protective instincts, and when he realizes Alice is up to her neck in all kinds of trouble, he’s determined to save the day. Sure, Gravediggers aren’t the usual kind of knight in shining armor, but Alice isn’t the usual kind of damsel in distress.

And damn, her distress is something else again.

Alice knows there are no heroes in real life, but Loki seems to be on a mission to prove her wrong. At every turn, he takes the pieces of her shattered world and builds a new one that revolves around him. But just as she begins to trust him to be the hero she needs, is he willing to let go of his Gravedigger ways to deal with the responsibility of taking care of all of her, including her heart?
Thoughts on House of Payne: Loki: MAN, I love the people who associate with the House of Payne. They're decisive, passionate (seriously, some of them will fight about ANYTHING), and they know what they want as soon as they lay eyes on it. It might be a bumpy ride before they can get what they want, but OH they know it.

In the case of Loki, Alice is his one and only. He sees her and is fascinated by both her looks and her fire. She pushes him and challenges him and makes him start planning for things he's never dreamed of before. That said, Alice doesn't meekly fall into Loki's plan. She needs a little convincing that someone like him is more than just a pipe dream that will vanish with the sun.

Yeah, Alice has a few walls. She's wary and closed off and Loki has to figure out how to get her to lower those walls enough to give him a chance. And when he does bone-headed things (AS ONE DOES), he has to figure out how to prove to her that he's in it for the long haul.

I love Loki and Alice (OF COURSE), but I'm not so enamored of her entitled foster brother. He just...GRRRR. That said, Alice figures things out where he's concerned and does what she needs to do to get her HEA. *heart eyes*
