She Was the Woman He Hid

MC Other Woman Drama Biker Second Chance Romance For two years he loved her in turnouts, in locked rooms, up the coast where nobody could see. She walked into the club memorial hoping to finally be claimed — and he let her call herself "a friend of the club." Eden Pruitt runs the tiny library branch on the Saltwash pier — the one place in the world that's fully hers. And for two years she's been Marcus "Diesel" Vane's secret, while the whole Broken Halo MC believes another woman is his old lady, a decoy for a ghost. He's never once set foot in her library after the first night. If he died on the road, the club wouldn't even know to tell her. When she finally tells him on the library steps that she's done being the place he ducks into and leaves, Diesel does the only thing that counts: he stops hiding in daylight. He names her at the farmers market, in the fish line, in the loud bright middle of town. And when the club calls church to make his lie permanent and threatens his patch, he confesses the whole two-year cowardice to fourteen brothers and unpicks the Road Captain rocker from his own cut — laying his rank on the table beside the soft, two-year-old bar napkin with her phone number that he's carried over his heart the entire time. Eden built her dignity alone. She'll decide, from the safety of everything she already has, whether he's earned the right to say her name in the light — where it always belonged. A coastal, quietly devastating "other woman" romance about a man who hid the best thing he had, and the woman who refused to stay a secret.
