Claimed at the Border

I came back for a funeral. I stayed for the man I've spent ten years trying to forget. Rumer Vane rode out of the Ridgebacks clubhouse at nineteen and swore she'd never take the exit again. Ten years later her brother is dead and the only person willing to tell her the truth is Cal Rooke — her mother's husband's son, the patch on his back no club will question, and the stepbrother she has spent a decade refusing to remember. He wants the killer before the county does. She wants her brother's name cleared. Together they ride the Route 9 border and find a smuggling trail that points back into the family they both answer to. Rumer thought she knew what loyalty looked like. She is about to watch Cal choose which family he bleeds for. A biker romance with a bad debt, a tighter family, and heat that doesn't ask permission.
