She built her life on routine, responsibility, and staying in control.
He built his on freedom, loyalty, and never staying too long.
Josie Carter knows exactly who she is.
A baker. A provider. The one everyone depends on.
Her world is simple-early mornings, warm ovens, and a life carefully held together.
There's no room for chaos.
No room for risk.
And definitely no room for men like him.
Rhett Lawson doesn't belong in places like hers.
Vice President of a motorcycle club, he lives in a world where loyalty is everything and danger is never far behind.
He doesn't chase. He doesn't stay. And he doesn't get attached.
Until her.
One night at a bar was supposed to be nothing.
A glance. A moment. Something easily forgotten.
But when Rhett walks into her bakery, everything changes.
Because he doesn't just see her-
He understands her.
And when his world starts bleeding into hers, Josie is forced to face a truth she's spent years avoiding:
Safety isn't the same as living.
And love?
It doesn't come neat, or easy...
or without a fight.

Men of Iron - Book 5: Forged In Her Obedience
When a girl with sugar on her lips and obedience in her bones catches the eye of a Nomad, she doesn't flinch. She freezes. Still. Quiet. Waiting for permission to breathe. She's not broken. She's not pretending. She was built for structure. Raised in silence. And when the wrong man stalks her routine, it's not the club that protects her first- It's Chains. Chains doesn't touch what isn't his. Doesn't lose control. As Vice President of the Nomads, he's the one who keeps the fire clean, the brotherhood sharp. But the baker doesn't run from his silence. She submits to it. She kneels. She obeys. And the more he watches her hold still, the more he wants to see her unravel-for him. But danger doesn't ask for consent. And the man watching her wants more than power. He wants to cleanse what Chains already claimed. In a world ruled by dominance, fire, and blood- sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't the monster at the door... It's the girl who whispers sir when she's shaking.Complete
Odd Rose
-"Why are you crying?" What, I didn't know I was crying. -"Come on." He offers a hand to help me up. -"Stay away... from me." I get up on my own a grunt escaping my lips when I feel pain in my knees. -"Your knees!" He crouches down to look at them up close. -"Oh don't act as if you care." I look down and see he has wet hair, which is reasonable since he came out of the bathroom. *Swoop* He scoops me up, my injured knees on his left and my head rests on his right shoulder. I hitch as he picks me up. -"What do you think you're doing? Put me down this instant!" I try to wiggle out of his arms, but it's useless, he holds me tighter to his chest. He gently places me on the bed, and I sit on the edge, I instantly throw my hand to his face intending to slap him. As if it were muscle memory he blocks my hand and gently holds it. He crouches down not breaking eye contact. -"Stella, I'm... sorry. I acted out on you." I know Jacob, and that probably was hard for him to admit. -"Let me treat your knees." He places a gentle hand over my wound. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her Dad was murdered fighting for what was right, her mom didn't love her dad all that much...or her, she plans to follow her dad's footsteps even though that might lead her to death.
