I came to the Iron Veil compound to see a friend. I stayed because I couldn't stop watching him, Seth "Grim" Decker, the club's Sergeant at Arms, a man built from twenty-two years of violence and silence. He's forty-six to my twenty-four, covered in ink and scars, and when he finally puts his hands on me, I forget every reason I had to stay away. But wanting him means stepping into his world. The rival club that's been circling doesn't just want territory; they want leverage... moreI came to the Iron Veil compound to see a friend. I stayed because I couldn't stop watching him, Seth "Grim" Decker, the club's Sergeant at Arms, a man built from twenty-two years of violence and silence. He's forty-six to my twenty-four, covered in ink and scars, and when he finally puts his hands on me, I forget every reason I had to stay away. But wanting him means stepping into his world. The rival club that's been circling doesn't just want territory; they want leverage. And I've just become it. Seth doesn't ask if I can handle what's coming. He tells me I'm his, that the choice is made, and that he'll stand between me and anything that tries to touch me. I should be scared. Instead, I'm reaching for him in the dark, claiming him right back, and discovering that the safest place I've ever been is in the hands of the most dangerous man I know. Can a ceramic artist and an enforcer build something that won't break under pressure, or will the weight of his world shatter us both? Tropes: Age gap (22 years), instalove, motorcycle club, protective hero, curvy heroine, forced proximity, possessive alpha, claiming, violence, found family, HEA guaranteed. less
