Wake

She wrote his invoice slow every Tuesday for two years. He stood in the middle of her floor and never once asked why.

Nicole Pauley has held her father's feed store alone at a crossroads nobody else would keep open. When an arsonist-for-hire comes to collect her brother's debt — and starts cutting tires, smashing glass, and burning what he can't take — she does what she's always done. Plants herself behind the counter and dares him to come through.

Wake hasn't let anyone past the road name since the day he watched a man drown on a river he couldn't control. As enforcer for the Bone Orchard MC, he handles the things that need handling and checks every chain twice. Then he sees a woman with a shotgun and bare feet backing down three men in her own parking lot, and something he locked down six years ago breaks clean open.

When the man behind the fires decides Nicole's crossroads is worth more burned than standing, the Bone Orchard steps between them. But Wake isn't just protecting club territory. He's claiming the woman who tapped her pencil twice before she ever knew his name — and he'll put every man Marvin Tolley sends into the ground 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.

Wake is book 14 in the Bone Orchard MC Series. No cliffhanger. No cheating. HEA guaranteed.
