Dark Romance / Alpha Male — contemporary MC (motorcycle-club) romance (Open Door, Explicit, high heat) · Coldwater Kings MC

What He Left Behind

He swore over her husband's body that he'd look after her. Two years later she told him she wasn't a debt anybody got to pay.

Thandi Norwood-Reyes is a welder, a widow, and the mother of a nine-year-old who writes down every word her father ever said to her. She lives on Widow's Row, where this town has been putting dead men's families since 1961 — and she hasn't cashed a dollar of the keep the Coldwater Kings voted her. She's watched what Coldwater does to a woman who becomes somebody's arrangement. And the man who brings the envelope every Sunday is the reason she can't tell being loved from being owed.

Mordecai "Ox" Lowndes was the second bike on the pass the night Tobias Reyes went off it. He's kept his oath the only way he knows how — money, snow off her walk, a new belt on her furnace — and he's carried two lies about that night for two years. Then the brother who disappeared a month after the funeral rides back into Coldwater, friendly and apologetic and certain there's eleven thousand dollars hidden in her house.

So Mordecai puts his cut on the round table and gives up every right he has to stand between her and what's coming. It's the only way she can ever say no to him — and the only way she can ever really say yes.

A steamy Coldwater Kings MC standalone — brother's widow, single mom, a protector who has to stop paying and start asking, consent on the page, HEA guaranteed. Perfect for fans of Kristen Ashley and Joanna Wylde.
