Powder's Fuse

She charged him four dollars for a clamp he'd just thrown at a man's head. Then she went back to work like nothing happened.

Tessa has run the only hardware store in Quarryville for three years — alone, stubborn as the granite under the town, and answering to nobody. When a loan shark's collectors walk in and lay her dead brother's debt on the counter, they expect her to fold. They don't expect her to tell them to get out. And they sure as hell don't expect the grinning Gravedigger in the fastener aisle to have a problem with it.

Powder blows holes in mountains for a living and holds the club's interior towns through patience, violence, and a smile that means he's already figured out how the next thirty seconds end. He never planned on a hardware store owner becoming the thing he'd kill to protect. He never planned on her refusing to let him.

Now a loan shark is burning through the mill towns, and the only thing standing between his operation and the street he wants is a woman who won't close her doors and the outlaw biker who's done pretending she's not his.

She's not club. She's not asking for protection. But she's on his ground, and nobody puts hands on a woman on his ground.

Powder's Fuse is a full-length standalone MC romance. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed. This is book 7 in the Backwoods Gravediggers MC series.
