My arranged husband is younger, relentless, and absolutely certain I belong to him. The worst part? He might be right.
Adriana At forty, I’ve built my own empire. I answer to no one. I don’t do love, vulnerability, or men who think they can handle me.

EZRA It hasnโt been easy growing up as the only daughter of Dogwood Ridgeโs Sheriff, a position heโs maintained with pride for most of my life. There have been many times when I wondered if his badge was more important to him than me. Except for when he wanted to parade me around as the perfect daughter, of course.
Dad is overprotective and is always worried about appearances. Heโs also hated the Saintโs Outlaws Motorcycle Club since before I was born; it has nothing to do with his pledge to uphold the law. Iโve been told to stay away from the club for as long as I can remember, but itโs not easy to do. Every bit of freedom and independence I have, Iโve fought for; teaching the kids of Dogwood Ridge and taking photos keeps me sane.
I would have never guessed that my hobby would get me in trouble. When I snap a picture of something I shouldnโt see, itโs not my father who can keep me safe. Ryker is willing to stand in front of danger for me, but nothing is given for free. What happens when itโs my heart on the line instead of my life?
TITUS โRYKERโ You can take the crown that comes with being king and shove it. Give me the wind whipping past me and the roar of my bike while the sun bounces off the asphalt. Thatโs power; thatโs what I crave. Still, I can admit the presidentโs patch comes with a lot of perks.
Iโve never been against taking advantage of everything that comes with my position, but I watched my dad put the club first and I make sure to do the same. The only people I answer to are my brothers, certainly not those who judge me for the leather I was born to wear. And no one judges us more than Sheriff Lyons.
If only he was able to keep Dogwood Ridge safe. His daughter, Ezra, has always been the sweetest of forbidden fruit. When she needs my protection, I quickly figure out that I would gladly lay down my loyalty to the club for her. Sheโs quirky, fierce, and the woman I need by my side and on the back of my bike. I wonโt be letting her go once the people who are after her slink back into the shadows.
๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ’๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ โ๏ธ Motorcycle Club โ๏ธ Opposites Attract โ๏ธ Good Girl & Bad Boy โ๏ธ Damsel in Distress โ๏ธ Sheriff’s Daughter โ๏ธ He Falls First โ๏ธ Family Drama โ๏ธ Forbidden Romance
โค๏ธReview Ezra is the sheriffโs daughter who has been warned by her father to stay away from the Saintโs Outlaws MC as he considers them his enemies. While attending the fair with her students she sees something that places her in danger however when her father doesnโt believe her it is Titus, the President of the MC, who is there for her.
Titus is used to being looked down on by the sheriff and even though he is attracted to her he has always believed it is best to keep his distance from Ezra because of her father. Seeing how upset she is at the fair is all it will take for him to protect her and claim her as his own despite how her father feels.
Spending time with this MC is always an adventure you donโt want to miss. I enjoyed seeing Ezra evolve into the woman she was destined to be and Titus will do anything to keep Ezra safe and give her the family she has always wanted.

One look and he was hooked. One “no” and he was obsessed.
Hudson
I have the world at my feet.
Power and iron-clad authority are my birthrights, and “no” isnโt a word in my vocabulary. Iโm used to people bowing to my name and melting under my gaze. Iโve always been the hunter, never the prey. Until I meet Tinsley Essen.
Stunning, sharp, and maddeningly indifferent, Tinsley doesnโt give a damn about my billions or my influence. Sheโs completely immune to my charm, meeting my commands with a bored yawn and my arrogance with a single arched brow.
For the first time in my life, Iโve met a force I canโt control. I was supposed to be the one doing the hooking, but one look at Tinsley and Iโm the one caught. Now, Iโll do whatever it takes to break down her walls and prove that while she might not need me, Iโm never letting her go.
Iโm about to learn that the only thing more addictive than power is the one woman who refuses to give it to me.
Tinsley
Iโve spent my life building a world where I don’t have to answer to anyoneโespecially men like Hudson Carrington.
Heโs used to the world parting like the Red Sea when he walks into a room. He expects a bow, a blush, or total surrender. But to me? Heโs just another suit with too much ego and a look in his eyes that says heโs never been told “no” in his life.
Itโs a word Iโm finding more and more pleasure in using.
His billions don’t move me. His shadow doesn’t intimidate me. And his “legendary” charm? Itโs nothing more than a polished weapon I have no intention of falling for. But Hudson isn’t just a man who wants his way, heโs a man who has decided Iโm his next conquest.
He thinks heโs the one doing the hunting, but heโs about to find out I don’t play by anyone’s rules but my own. He can try to buy my time and command my attention, but my heart isn’t for sale.
The problem is, the harder I push him away, the closer he gets and for the first time, Iโm having a hard time fighting the pull between us.
In this fast-paced, steamy instalove romance, the powerful billionaire cowboy is about to learn that the only thing more addictive than power is a woman who tells him “no.”
From the moment that Tinsley delayed his arrival for a business meeting he was distracted and wants to know everything he can about her. All his flirting and gifts arenโt making an impact, so he realizes that if he is going to have a chance with her he is going to have to try a different approach which includes being there for her without taking over.
Tinsley has never had anyone to depend on, and she isnโt about to start now. She isnโt impressed by his wealth, but when she asks him for help and he is there for her she realizes that there is a lot more to the man as he tries to honor her independence even though he just wants to make everything easier for her.
Tinsley is a character you canโt help but relate to as she is determined to forge her own path and after his initial missteps Hudson gets to know Tinsley and what really matters and he will do whatever is required to claim the woman who has stolen his heart.

Iโve spent years being the friend she counts on. Now I want to be the man she canโt let go.
Sadie Hollister is the rodeo vet everyone in Mustang Mountain trusts when things get dangerous, and Iโm the cowboy she calls when she needs steady hands. Weโve spent years working side by side through injured stock, late-night barn calls, muddy pastures, and storms bad enough to make smarter people stay home.
Being the man she counts on has always been safer than risking everything by asking for more.
But when forged livestock papers threaten the Fourth of July Rodeo, Sadieโs loyalty to the animals puts her at odds with her powerful Hollister family. One injured steer leads to altered certificates, mismatched brands, and old records someone clearly wants buried.
She needs a partner she can trust, and Iโve always known how to be that man. But as the secrets pile up and the danger closes in, the line between friendship and wanting starts to disappear. One touch turns into a kiss. One kiss turns into a night Iโll never forget.
And suddenly, standing beside Sadie doesnโt feel like enough. Not when she finally looks at me like Iโm hers. Iโm done waiting, done holding back, and ready to claim every part of her.
The Cowboys of Mustang Mountain carry regrets, rivalries, and reputations theyโve never quite outrun. Theyโre the men who fix fence lines by day, fight their demons by night, and swear they donโt need anyone. Their pasts are messy. Their scars are real. And their hearts are locked down tight.
Until the right woman walks into their path and shakes the dust off their hardened hearts. Women who arenโt afraid to push back, dig deep, and call these cowboys out on every wall they try to hide behind.
