Cruz (Satan's Angels MC, Book 14)

“I don’t need your protection.”

“Too bad. You’re getting it.”

Because once the club decides you're under our protection, arguing about it doesn't change a damn thing.

Sloane looks at my cut and sees exactly the kind of man she’s spent her life avoiding—a biker, a bruiser, another bad decision waiting to happen.

Hell, maybe she’s right.

I’m twice her son’s age, and we're both prospects with Satan’s Angels MC. As far as she’s concerned, I’m nothing but a bad influence.

What she doesn’t know is that back in Seattle, Liam witnessed something he never should have seen. If the men behind it decide to tie up loose ends, they won't stop with him.

They’ll come for the person he loves most.

His mom.

Looking out for Liam is my responsibility...

...which means looking out for Sloane, too.

She hates that almost as much as she hates the fact that her nineteen-year-old son is friends with a forty-two-year-old biker. Exactly the kind of man who'll lead Liam deeper into danger.

Doesn't matter.

I've spent my whole life protecting people. First as a SEAL. Now alongside my brothers.

Watching doors, reading danger before anyone else sees it—that's what I do.

What I don't do is get attached.

Especially not to a stubborn café owner who fights every safety precaution I put in place...

...yet somehow reminds me what a real family looks like.

I tell myself I’m only here until the danger passes.

That wanting her is a line I won’t cross.

Then she smiles at me over a late-night cup of coffee...

...and suddenly walking away isn't an option.

The truth is, I'd take a bullet for her without thinking twice.

Cruz is the 14th installment in the Satan's Angels MC series. Each book in the series delivers a standalone happily ever after for the couple, but for the best experience, we recommend reading them in order.
