Crank

She cuts hair and keeps her head down. He kills for the club and can't look away.

June Hargrove moved to Tulsa's west side for a fresh start — a quiet chair at the salon, a small apartment, no complications. When a thirteen-year-old kid from the neighborhood drags trouble through her door and a land developer's enforcer follows him in, quiet dies on the linoleum. The only thing standing between June and a man who buys silence with broken bones is a biker she's never spoken to — the one who's been watching her from across the street for months.

She didn't ask for a shield. He's not offering one she can give back.

Crank — vice president of the Mother Road Renegades MC — doesn't do attachments. He does the club's dirty work, keeps the west side clear, and doesn't let anyone close enough to see what it costs him. But when a hairdresser with steady hands and a sharper mouth puts herself between his club and a kid who needs protecting, the man who's spent twenty years keeping people at arm's length decides this woman is worth closing the distance.

June has rules. She'll shelter the kid, stand in the crossfire, and let the biker into her bed — but she won't be a kept woman behind a clubhouse fence, and she won't pretend the blood on his hands doesn't exist. She wants all of him, including the parts he buried under the road name.

As a developer's body count climbs and his hired killers close in on everything June has built, Crank and June discover that the most dangerous thing on Route 66 isn't the man trying to own the west side. It's what happens when a woman who sees everything meets a man who's never been seen.

Book 2 in the Mother Road Renegades MC series. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhangers. No cheating.
