The second book to the series starting with "Freedom Ranch". Can be read alone or as part of the series.
Ben, a dedicated Sheriff's Deputy, is deeply committed to his work and the well-being of his community. With little distractions, he devotes himself entirely to his job, until one day Autumn drives into town in her black sports car, which unexpectedly breaks down right in front of him as he finishes his shift. To say she is different from the women in town is an understatement with her clunky black boots and goth attire. But, it ignites a spark in him. One he has kept under wraps for a long time and has hidden from the very town he protects.
Despite being warned repeatedly about staying away from Autumn, Ben finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. For good reason if anyone knew who he really was beyond the Boy Scout persona he had kept up for years.
But, her intentions are clear. Grieve, tie up her Aunt's loose ends, and leave back to the city. However, her Aunt's wishes took an unexpected turn, stating that she must remain in this rural town for six months before making any decisions about her property. Now the question is, will the town run her out before her six months or up? Or, will Ben's secrets be her undoing?

Ripper - Hell Rider's MC #1 -
This story has plot holes and grammar mistakes, I get it. This book isn't edited at all and I plan to once the series is finished. If you don't want to read it than don't read it but don't comment and bash me for mistakes when I have warned readers many times that I don't edit. Thank you. ____ I shivered as I pulled my coat tighter around me. I had been walking for days, and sadly it was mid winter. The chill felt like it would never go away, and no matter how many shops I went into to warm up, I always had to trudge through the snow once more. I had no clue as to where I was going, but I was praying that I would find someone safe and warm before I was either found by the one person I was trying to escape, or before I froze to death on the side of the street. ~ Lilith, or Lilly, is running from her mother after she tried selling Lilly's body to some men. Her mother had been abusing her for years and once the night had fallen after being beaten severely, Lilith took action.

NOT A FUCKING AGEGAP STORY. IF YOU READ PAST THE FIRST CHAPTER YOU WILL FIND THAT OUT. THANK YOU. * I am horrible at descriptions so please do not judge the book based off of my descriptions. *Complete
