I stole the evidence that could destroy a trafficking ring. Then my getaway car died on a freezing mountain road.
LAUREL
For seven months, Nolan Richardson kept me locked away and forced me to balance the books for his criminal operation.
I survived by staying quiet. Memorizing everything. Waiting.
Then I steal his handwritten ledger, an encrypted drive, and the first real chance I’ve had to escape.
I almost make it.
Instead, my SUV dies in the middle of a freezing Tennessee night, and the men hunting me are closing in when a massive, scarred biker named Grave finds me hiding beneath the cargo floor.
He’s dangerous. Dominant. The kind of man other men move out of the way for.
But when my captors demand he hand me over, Grave doesn’t decide for me.
He asks what
I
want.
For the first time in months, my answer matters.
And when I tell him no, Grave makes it very clear I’m not going anywhere with them.
GRAVE
I know predators.
I also know the terrified woman in my recovery truck is done running alone.
Laurel has healing marks around her wrists, no identification, and two sets of books powerful men are willing to kill to recover. She doesn’t need another man controlling her life.
She needs locked gates the enemy can’t cross.
A key she controls.
And someone violent enough to make sure the men hunting her never touch her again.
That someone is me.
I want Laurel from the first night. I want her in my apartment, in my bed, and permanently under my protection. But wanting her doesn’t give me the right to take anything she doesn’t freely give.
So I handle the threats while Laurel cracks the encrypted ledger that could expose the entire operation.
Then Richardson brings the war straight to Highwall.
Now armed men are inside my territory, smoke is filling the shop, and Laurel is trapped in the middle of the attack.
They think she’s still the quiet bookkeeper they can frighten into obedience.
They’re wrong.
And when Richardson comes for the woman I’ve already decided is mine to protect, he’s going to learn exactly why they call me
