Steelwood MC Series by Julia Stone

He stole her to save her. Now he can’t let her go. I found her by accident—just a glimpse during a job finished a few months back. One little discovery turned into an obsession. I told myself to forget her, but that was a lie I never stood a chance of keeping. When I learned her father planned to trade her to another club’s bastard, I couldn’t let it happen. So I took her. Now she’s here, hidden away in my world of smoke, leather, and scars. She looks at me like I’m her captor, and maybe I am... moreHe stole her to save her. Now he can’t let her go.

Now she’s here, hidden away in my world of smoke, leather, and scars. She looks at me like I’m her captor, and maybe I am. But I’m also her only chance. Every day she’s near, I lose another piece of the restraint I swore I’d keep. I can’t let her go—but I can’t let myself have her either. Because if I touch her, there’s no coming back from it. My whole life has been planned for me—every breath, every choice, every future moment dictated by my father. I never questioned it until Ghost tore me from that life and dropped me into his. He’s chaos made flesh—scarred, and dangerous—but somehow, he feels more honest than anyone I’ve ever known. He says he took me to protect me. Maybe that’s true. But the way he looks at me burns hotter than any lie. The longer I stay, the more I see the man beneath the rough edges—the protector, not the villain. Somewhere between fear and fascination, I start to fall. Ghost may have stolen my freedom. .. but he’s the first person who’s ever made me feel free.

An age gap, a slow burn, and a love worth killing for. Attacking Crimson Road is unavoidable—everyone in Steelwood MC knows it. I should’ve pulled the trigger on this war months ago, but fear keeps my hand steady. Not fear of losing the fight. Fear of losing her. Penelope has no idea the threat creeping her way, no idea the lengths I’ll go to keep her safe. Hell, she doesn’t even know she’s mine—not yet. I died once. Came back changed. Cautious. Calculated. Careful... moreAn age gap, a slow burn, and a love worth killing for. Attacking Crimson Road is unavoidable—everyone in Steelwood MC knows it. I should’ve pulled the trigger on this war months ago, but fear keeps my hand steady. Not fear of losing the fight. Fear of losing her. Penelope has no idea the threat creeping her way, no idea the lengths I’ll go to keep her safe. Hell, she doesn’t even know she’s mine—not yet. I died once. Came back changed. Cautious. Calculated. Careful. But the second someone put her in their sights, something in me snapped back to life. No one touches the woman I love. Even if loving her is the thing that finally gets me killed, I’ll put this dog down myself… and I’ll burn Crimson Road to the ground to do it. I’ve been in love with Judge since the day he pulled Raven and me out of the gutter and handed us a second chance at breathing. He saved me, protected me, and helped me stitch myself back together piece by broken piece. He doesn’t know how deeply he’s carved himself into me. He doesn’t know the things I want now—things I never thought I’d crave from any man. With danger closing in and forced to stay under his watch, all the walls I’ve built start to crumble. Being near him feels safe… and terrifying. Because after this war with Crimson Road is over, I want to give him everything—my trust, my body, my heart. If he’ll finally let me in. Judge presents some triggering themes that may make some readers uncomfortable. Please be advised. Each story in the Steelwood MC series is part of a shared storyline that is best enjoyed in order.

He was assigned to protect her. She was never supposed to want him. Steelwood and Crimson Road are on the brink of all-out bloodshed, and my club gives me one job—babysit Raven while they take care of business. She’s trouble wrapped in sharp edges. Mean-mouthed. Closed off. Untouchable. I only say yes because this is my last hoop to jump through before I earn my patch. One or two days. That’s it. Easy... moreHe was assigned to protect her. She was never supposed to want him. Steelwood and Crimson Road are on the brink of all-out bloodshed, and my club gives me one job—babysit Raven while they take care of business. She’s trouble wrapped in sharp edges. Mean-mouthed. Closed off. Untouchable. I only say yes because this is my last hoop to jump through before I earn my patch. One or two days. That’s it. Easy. Except Raven doesn’t scare easily, doesn’t soften, and sure as hell doesn’t back down when I push. The more she hates me, the more I want to see what she does when she finally snaps. I don’t need protection. I don’t need company. And I definitely don’t need Jinx—loud, cocky, and way too interested in getting under my skin. Everyone knows to leave me alone. He doesn’t listen. He watches. Prods. Smirks like he sees something no one else ever has. I tell myself I hate him. I tell myself this fire between us is just anger. But when the walls come down, and the world outside turns violent, it’s not pain we’re trading—it’s heat. Once Jinx gets his hands on me, there’s no pretending this is just a job anymore.
