The Clerk of Blood

Wren Halliday has balanced the Ashmoor Motorcycle Club's books for four years without asking what the numbers pay for. She is good at her job and better at not looking. Then a Hellion sister dies on the wrong side of the river, the club votes for war, and a state investigator leaves a subpoena on Wren's desk for a page she never signed. Somewhere in the Ashmoor archive, her name has been inked onto records that should never have had it. The only man in four years who has not lied to her is Corvin, the club's enforcer, and even he has been deleting her name from every book he can reach. The rival chapter offers a trade: the ledger, for the missing sister, alive. Wren will not hand over four years of her life. She will hand over something else. A forgery. A rest-stop exchange. A war ended with a pen instead of a bullet. And a fresh page, with only two names on it.
