She had a thrift store and a death wish. He had fifteen years of running—until she made him want to stay.

Jo Wicker built Second Chances from nothing—four hundred dollars, her grandmother's jewelry, and the fierce determination of a woman who'd already escaped one man who tried to own her. When a predatory lender targets her store, Jo finds herself fighting a war designed to break her.

He's a Black Hills Rider who spent fifteen years running from anything that might matter. She's about to become his reason to stop.

Derek "Blacktop" Montana knows highways and logistics. What he doesn't know is how to stay. But when he finds Jo facing down a thug twice her size with nothing but attitude and a threat to leave him limping, something cracks open. She's not asking for rescue.

Too bad he's not giving her a choice.

What starts as club business becomes something dangerous—a claiming neither expected and an attraction neither can resist. But the vulture destroying Jo's life has enforcers and a specialty for making problems disappear.

He's about to learn what happens when you threaten something that belongs to a man who's finally found his reason to stay.

In the Black Hills, the club handles predators with violence, not lawyers. And Blacktop's about to show a man in a suit exactly what happens when you target his woman.
