Rattler

She laughed in his face at a thousand dollars and walked away. He was leaning on her toolbox by midnight and never left.

Tara Meade has raced dirt track at Fivemile every Saturday since she was twenty-four — building her own cars, running her own pit gate, answering to nobody. When a coal operator tries to buy the road across her family's land and she tells him where to put it, he starts sending men to change her mind. The tires come first. Then the fire.

Rattler has been a patched Bone Orchard brother for exactly one year, and the table still treats him like the new guy. When a woman with grease under her nails and a laugh that carries across a pit lot puts him to work under her car, something shifts in him that has nothing to do with the suspension. Then her hauler gets slashed and her father's shop goes up in flames, and the thing that shifted turns into the thing he'll kill for.

When the man behind the coal operation decides Tara is the last obstacle between him and a fortune, the Bone Orchard steps between them. But Rattler isn't just following club orders. He's claiming the woman who put a breaker bar through a man's arm before she ever wore his patch — and he'll burn down everything Lyle Bragg has built to keep her.

Dangerous men. Explosive action. A brotherhood forged in blood. And a love story that hits like a wrench and holds on like a weld.

Rattler is book 13 in the Bone Orchard MC Series. No cliffhanger. No cheating. HEA guaranteed.
