He Won't Lose Her Twice

Kit Donnelly grew up inside the Ironwood Motorcycle Club. Her father helped build it. It was her whole family — right up until the night it took him from her. Jasper “Pike” Kell was on a club run he had sworn to skip when her father died, and he came home to a wife already halfway out the door. She grieved alone. She divorced him. She spent five years learning to live without the man and the club that had cost her everything. Then, somehow, they found their way back. No showy diamond this time — just a plain, worn band and a quiet promise: this time, she comes first. Two years into the second marriage, Kit still hasn’t unpacked the bag she keeps in the back of the closet. She tells herself it’s nothing. And then the club comes knocking again — the president is stepping down, they want Pike to take the gavel, and there’s trouble with the Dray crew — and Kit watches, sick with recognition, as the exact shape of the worst night of her life begins to reassemble itself. The late calls. The rides out. The way his body says yes to the club before his mouth ever does. She already forgave this once. A second chance was the one risk she swore she’d never take, and she took it. This time she isn’t going to wait around to be right about him. This time she leaves first — while she still can. Pike has never had to choose Kit, because Kit always chose him. Now she’s gone, and money can’t fix it, muscle can’t fix it, and no grand gesture is going to buy back the thing he keeps choosing against. If he wants her — really wants her — he’ll have to do the one thing his whole life was built to avoid: put the club second, in the open, at the table, in front of everyone, and hand her back a choice he has no power to control. Because a man doesn’t get to lose the same woman twice and call it an accident. And Kit Donnelly is done being anyone’s sure thing. An emotional, found-family outlaw motorcycle club second-chance romance about the marriage you swore you’d never risk again, the difference between being provided for and being chosen, and a woman who finally stops waiting to be failed. A non-cheating loyalty betrayal, a hard-won grovel that costs the hero everything, and a slow burn back to a plain gold band. Full-length novel with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
