Widowmaker's Price

She gave him a number. He gave her a ring. Neither of them negotiated.

Joanna Pruitt doesn't need a motorcycle club. She needs her pawnshop to stay open, her front glass to stop getting smashed, and the gun runner across the highway to stop sending men through her door. She's held her ground on the Bisbee highway for six years with nothing but a counter, a number she won't move off, and the kind of stubbornness that makes dangerous men blink first. But when a dead man's ring brings a patched biker back to her counter and two of Marcus Beale's enforcers lock her inside her own shop, the Tombstone MC's most violent enforcer puts himself between her and everything that's coming — and refuses to leave.

Widowmaker hasn't let anyone close in six years. He pawned his father's ring to survive, rode until the road ran out, and buried everything he was before the patch in desert silence. Then a red-haired pawnshop owner hands him back the ring she kept for six years without being asked, looks at the worst thing his hands have ever done, and doesn't step back one inch.

She won't close her shop. He won't take his hand off her neck. And the man who's been converting guns behind a shuttered storefront for eleven years isn't going to stop sending crews until somebody puts him in the ground.

As Beale's operation collapses around him and the bodies stack up on both sides of the highway, Joanna discovers that the most dangerous man in the Arizona desert is the one who'd break both a man's hands to keep her safe — and that the safest place she's ever stood is behind a counter with his ring on her finger and his name across her back. But claiming an outlaw MC's deadliest enforcer means accepting a life where violence is the price of protection and the man she loves carries a darkness that started in a ring in Sonora and may never fully leave.

She's going to price him on it for the rest of her life.

Widowmaker's Price is Book 15 of the Tombstone MC series. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
