Brand's Danger

She surfaces onto his secret. He decides she's never surfacing alone again. Brand has been the Deadwood Hangmen's Warlord for fifteen years — the man who plans the fights, leads the assaults, and grins right before the violence starts. His brothers trust him with their lives, his enemies know better than to test him, and the only thing that's ever stopped him cold is a broad-shouldered diver hauling herself out of a reservoir with a jaw scar, steady hands, and a secret that's about to get her killed. Sloane Avery doesn't need a protector. She's built her commercial diving business alone — one frozen reservoir, one dangerous contract at a time. Her gear is hers, her boat is hers, and she answers to whoever signs the check, nobody else. Especially not the grinning biker who plants himself between her and trouble like he owns the ground she's standing on. Then a Black Hills construction boss with bodies buried under eighty feet of water decides she's seen too much, and the men start coming — to her ramp, to her motel, to the water where a drowning looks like an accident. Sloane can hold her nerve at depth, but she can't fight what's waiting when she surfaces. She's not his to claim. She'll make damn sure he knows it. But the closer the danger drives them — into his compound, into his war, into his bed — the harder it gets to tell where her independence ends and his possession begins. Because Brand doesn't just want to keep her alive. He wants her. All of her. And the Warlord doesn't ask twice. BRAND'S DANGER is book 7 in the Deadwood Hangmen MC Series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
