Scree's Stand

She walked into a diner with bloody knuckles and nowhere to run. He took one look and decided she was his.

Darcy Keane has been running her whole life. From her father's fists in South Boston. From brothers who thought violence was love. From every man who ever tried to break her. Six years of building a life behind a dive bar in Colorado Springs, and she thought she'd finally stopped running—until her ex walked out of prison with twelve armed men and a debt he expects her to pay in blood.

Scree didn't join Battle Born MC to play hero. The former Marine infantry carries enough demons for a dozen men—a hair-trigger temper and a rage that never fully sleeps. When he walks into a diner at 2 AM and finds a woman with bloody knuckles and fire in her eyes, something shifts. She's in his territory. That makes her his to protect.

Whether she likes it or not.

What starts as protection becomes possession. Every look. Every touch. Every moment she proves she's not the kind of woman who stays down when she's knocked down. Darcy doesn't need saving—she needs someone whose demons speak the same language as hers. And Scree hasn't let anyone that close since he came home from war.

But the man who wants her destroyed won't stop until she's bleeding or broken. And Scree won't stop until every last one of them is in the ground.
