Kicked out of her home at twenty, Maxine has nothing but her tough mechanic apprenticeship and a broken heart. When Tank, a dangerous-looking biker with a gentle side, offers her protection, everything changes. She doesn’t trust men, and he fears hurting her. But as sparks fly, one question remains: will they risk their hearts or walk away?
I was tempted to pick her up and carry her, but after standing with her still in my arms, she squirmed, and I knew better than to fight her on this time to learn to pick my battles, ones I like to win. This type of battle can wait for another day. While she headed…
Like, he was soaking wet and covered in suds. I knew this before I looked in. That he would be looking something like that. Why did I do it? He didn’t look like any drowned rat, he looked?? Yummy. I can’t even think of the right word. Tall, very tall, muscles, bulging muscles, I knew…
He pulled back and wiped the tears from my face with his thumb. “Stay here, I will bring something up to eat, you set up this place with what you need, I am assuming this office space is temporary, and you want your office near the paint room?” I appreciated how he moved the subject…
“A week? I can take one of the spare bikes; you can start on it today. If you have what you need.” Prez looked excited; he had to be to let Max have his bike for a whole week. “Yeah, I have enough to start stripping the bike parts that I intend to paint, clean…

Max was already gone. I rolled out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom, one look in the mirror, and ugh, one bloodshot face looked back at me. I looked like something the dog just threw up. I washed my face and did my business. Hunted for something to calm the racket going on in…
That hour went quickly. I stood and arched my back, sore from being in the same spot for too long. But when I am in the zone, even a twinge in the back can’t bring me away from what I am doing. After finishing the now cold coffee, I head inside, time for some real…
Bruiser stopped Prez to talk business, and the Prez waved me on. I was not ready for all the workload yet; what I got so far today already filled my head to overflowing. There was so much more to learn about being VP than I had expected, not that I am not up for the…
“You worry too much. If you had hurt her, she deserved it,” one of the guys said from the back. I looked at him; he had this proud look on his face. A growing group surrounded us, all watching Maxine with concern and pride. “I know who to come to when those tarts start to…
