Grave

She painted her name on the glass with a cereal-box stencil. It wasn't straight and she didn't care.

Marlene Pruitt has held her two-chair beauty shop alone for six years on a strip-town road nobody fights over. When somebody puts two rocks through her front windows and a man she's never seen sits in her car waiting for her to come outside, she does what she's always done — picks up what's close and swings hard.

Grave hasn't let anyone past the quiet since the day he started counting rounds at his bench. As armorer of the Bone Orchard MC, he builds what his brothers carry, answers for every one, and keeps to himself. Then a woman with red lipstick and a loaded pistol calls him from a wrecked beauty shop, and something he's been holding at arm's length for months puts him in his truck before his brain catches up.

When the man behind a poison-dumping operation decides Marlene's building is the last thing between him and a clean road to the strip pits, the Bone Orchard steps between them. But Grave isn't just protecting club territory. He's claiming the woman who came over her own counter with a flat iron and a .380 — and he'll bury everything Garrett Slone has built to keep her.

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

Grave is book 5 in the Bone Orchard MC Series. No cliffhanger. No cheating. HEA guaranteed.
