He spent twelve years keeping Special Forces operators alive. She’s the first person who ever made him want to stay.
Amy Lawson doesn’t need saving. She’s kept her aunt’s diner running on stubbornness and the best pie in Cumberland County — pulling doubles six days a week, feeding soldiers and nurses and every insomniac in Fayetteville who needs somewhere to go at 3 AM.
But her ex-husband just got out of prison with a crew of fourteen violent men and a conviction that everything she owns belongs to him.
The restraining order is just paper. The legal system can’t help her.
And Kyle Lawson has never let paper stop him before.
Trauma didn’t plan on walking into that diner.
As the enforcer for the Black Ops Brotherhood — a motorcycle club forged from elite Special Forces veterans — he’s spent years channeling the guilt of a teammate he couldn’t save into keeping his brothers alive.
He doesn’t do attachments. Doesn’t let anyone close enough to need him for more than stitches and field medicine.
Then he finds Amy white-knuckling a coffee pot at midnight, a truck idling in her parking lot, and the word MINE scratched into her front door.
He handles the truck. Walking away from her is something he can’t do.
Someone is stalking the woman who feeds half the special operations community in Fayetteville — and his prison crew is escalating from intimidation to violence.
Amy has the backbone to stand her ground and the intelligence to help take Kyle down.
Trauma has the brotherhood to make sure Kyle never threatens her again.
Together, they’re going to show a prison crew what happens when you target someone under club protection.
But protecting Amy means staying close. And staying close means falling for a woman whose strength terrifies him more than any combat zone ever did.
She didn’t ask for his protection. He didn’t ask for permission.
Some women you don’t walk away from. Some fights you finish with your fists.
Trauma’s Temptation is a full-length MC romance featuring a possessive alpha hero, a heroine who fights back with a frying pan and a backbone of steel, brotherhood loyalty, explosive action, and enough heat to melt Carolina asphalt. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
