Borrowed Leather

Duke Brennan has been the Iron Hares' sergeant at arms for eleven years and the man who stopped smiling for two. He eats at the same diner every Tuesday, orders the same thing, and says nine words to the only woman in three counties who treats him like a person. Hollis Rae has been sliding a second slice of pie into his box since the first week. She knows who he rides with and she doesn't care. Then a shipment goes missing, the club turns on its own, and the trail runs straight through the diner — and through the name of a brother Hollis buried six years ago. Duke has one loyalty left to spend. He is going to spend it on the woman who never asked him for anything, even if it costs him the only family he has ever had. Some men break. This one chooses.
