Sloane Bennett didn't come to Ravenwood, Oregon, looking for trouble. She came for a fresh start ? a librarian job, a quiet cottage by the river, and as much distance as possible from the man who broke her heart. What she didn't account for was Luca Voss.
He owns half the town. He runs the rest of it. Tall, tattooed, and dangerous in ways that should send her straight back to Portland, Luca is everything Sloane swore she'd never get tangled up with. But from the moment their eyes meet across a dimly lit bar, the pull between them is impossible to ignore ? and Luca isn't a man who believes in wasting time.
He doesn't do relationships. She doesn't do risk. And yet...
As Sloane unravels the truth about what Luca's Brotherhood really protects ? and what it costs him ? she finds herself drawn not just to the man, but to the world he carries on his shoulders. A world that is dark and loyal and beautiful in its own brutal way. A world that is starting to feel like home.
But when a rival faction sets its sights on Ravenwood, staying means choosing a side. And Sloane Bennett is done running.
