Quarry's Wrath

He's quiet. He's precise. And when he puts himself between her and danger, he doesn't move. Quarry handles the Deadwood Hangmen's arsenal with the careful discipline of a man trained to never be careless with anything that could kill him. He keeps his voice low, his weapons clean, and his distance from anything that could make him lose control — until a brother sends him to drop timber for a potter on a remote mountain parcel, and he finds a sawn beam rigged to crush her during a firing. Iris Calder fires her late grandmother's wood kiln alone, sells her work to galleries across the region, and answers to no one — especially not the soft-voiced biker who reads her dead trees like blueprints and looks at her like she's something he's already decided to keep. Her grandmother's land is the only place that ever felt like home, and an old-money Deadwood family wants it erased from the record. The Hexums have been burying problems in the Black Hills for three generations. Now they want the claim under Iris's parcel — and the woman standing on top of it gone. One fixer, one crew leader, and one imported professional stand between Loyal Hexum and everything she owns. She's not leaving her land. He's not leaving her side. And someone is going to die on that mountain. But the closer the war pushes them together — into his compound, into his arms, into a life she never planned on choosing — the harder it gets to tell where her stubbornness ends and his claiming begins. Because Quarry doesn't just want to save her kiln. He wants her. All of her. And he's done being careful. QUARRY'S WRATH is book 5 in the Deadwood Hangmen MC Series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
