The Vow She Read in His Saddlebag

Frankie Duarte has stitched more Laredo Diablos than any ER in Webb County. She's the club medic, the unpatched one, and for six years she's been Deacon's wife. She was looking for ibuprofen. She found a vow renewal certificate — his name, another woman's name, and a courthouse appointment for the following Saturday. Frankie didn't scream. She treated a wounded brother first. Then she called a lawyer and rented a car. On the courthouse steps, she handed the other woman a marriage license and four sentences, and drove away. Two years later Frankie runs a rural clinic in Crystal City, Deacon has lost his patch, and the only thing he's excellent at is showing up the night her clinic catches fire with a semi-truck and four men who still believe in him. An MC biker romance of cheating, betrayal, and a grovel served in Thursdays, not speeches.
