Cain's Commitment

She inherited a second chance. He didn't think he deserved one.

Laurel Oakes left a decade of social work before it finished hollowing her out. When her aunt died and left her a cluttered thrift shop, she saw a second chance—until she cut the padlock on her own basement and found a chop shop full of stolen motorcycles with filed serial numbers. The men who've been using her building aren't interested in new ownership. They want silence. And her aunt's "accidental fall" is starting to look like the cost of breaking it.

Cain didn't join Battle Born MC looking for redemption. The former combat engineer missed one IED in Afghanistan and it took his driver's legs, and he's been choosing cold as punishment ever since. Stone-faced, deliberate, uninterested in forgiveness—he finds what's buried. But when he clears a dead woman's building and meets a niece with warm eyes and a social worker's spine, something shifts under the frost.

Laurel doesn't need a man who treats his life like a sentence. She needs someone willing to believe the second chance is real. And Cain hasn't believed in anything that kind in years.

But the men in her basement have been invisible for a decade, and the aunt who let them in may have died for trying to stop. And Cain won't stop until every man who used a dead woman's building is buried in the ground they thought they owned.

Cain's Commitment is book 16 in the Battle Born MC series. Guaranteed HEA, no cheating, no cliffhangers.
