The Biker and the Curvy Girl (An Outlaw Motorcycle Club Romance of a Possessive Alpha Biker, Instant Attraction, Club Secrets, Dangerous Enemies, Found Family, and a Forever Love) by More, Benard Mimms

They call him Ruin, and he earned it.

He keeps his list short: the club, the bike, the road.

Then he walked into her bakery with blood on his knuckles, and the list got longer.

Rose Bellamy runs the warmest shop in Kettle Creek, half bread, half books, all hers. She's built soft, stands small, and backs down from exactly nothing.

Then the Ozark Howlers roll up to her curb for a pie order, and their enforcer fills her doorway like weather. She doctors his burned hand in front of his whole club. He carries her pie boxes like they might break. The town talks for a week.

James "Ruin" Voss is the man his county sends when something has to end. Six and a half feet of ink and iron, feared in three counties, gentle with nothing. He learned young that whatever stands close to him bleeds, so nothing stands close. Ever.

When a rival club puts a wrecking bar through her window as a message, James offers her a wall of leather. Rose offers him terms instead:

His men come as customers.

They buy coffee.

They learn the regulars' names.

And James comes through her door for pie, never for guard duty.

The rules hold right up until a rival president says her dead father's name.

Because there's a reason no Howler has ridden Ridge Road in thirteen years. A reason the flowers on that guardrail never carry a card. The truth behind her father's accident is buried under the club James owes his life to, and a patient, dangerous man is about to dig it up. And when James has to choose between handing Rose the truth and locking her away from it, he chooses wrong.

Now the club's most feared enforcer must learn the difference between guarding a woman and building a life with one, and win her back with every light on.

He bought the locks.

She keeps the keys.

A steamy, small-town outlaw motorcycle club romance featuring a possessive alpha biker, a confident curvy heroine, instant attraction, found family, dangerous enemies, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Standalone. No cliffhanger. No cheating.

She asked for a verdict.

He gave her forever.
