In his last hour as president of the Anvil Creek MC, Quinn Ledger carried the vote that cut the Eli Vale Family Center loose from the club. He has never told her why.

Harlow Dubois runs the Center. The vote took her funding, four of her six staff, and her standing in a town small enough that everybody knows who lost what. Two years on, the county wants her land, the grant renewal wants every funder named, and the rival Ashfall MC will pay for all of it in exchange for a seat on her board.

Quinn holds no office and no vote, and nothing he does for her can look like anything but jealousy. He has a reason for what he did. It is sealed, and saying it out loud is a felony.

When Harlow finally has all of it, it does not release her. The worst two years of her life were decided in a room she was not allowed into, and he has just done it again.

A low-heat motorcycle-club romance about protection that nobody consented to.

Anvil Creek MC, Book Four. A complete standalone with a guaranteed happy ending.
