Backburn's Blaze

She kept his stolen liquor. He pulled her out of the fire. Neither of them was sorry. Gwen Doyle doesn't need a motorcycle club. She needs her food trailer to stay upright, her brisket line to keep moving, and the nine hundred cases of stolen liquor she pulled off a burning truck to stop attracting men with propane wrenches. But when a liquor kingpin sends a crew to flip her trailer in the middle of a Thursday lunch rush, a Tombstone MC brother steps out of her serving line and into the fight — and refuses to walk away. Backburn hasn't let a woman past his guard since the day the wind turned on a mountain and he came down with fewer men than he took up. He's kept everything locked behind control and silence and a patch he earned with fire. Then a loud, stubborn pitmaster puts her hand on his arm through a window and rearranges his entire world in one afternoon. She won't stop feeding people. He won't stop burning the ones who threaten her. And the man who wants her dead has twenty years of corridor muscle and no intention of letting a woman with a serving window and a boning knife take what's his. As the body count rises and the threats move from her trailer to her house to the compound itself, Gwen discovers that the most dangerous man in the Arizona desert is the one who'd put a road flare in a kingpin's mouth to keep her safe — and that the safest place she's ever stood is leaning out of a window on a hill full of outlaws who call her family. But claiming the man who carries fire in his name means accepting a life where the smoke never fully clears and the woman in the window had better know how to throw a sheet pan. She's going to argue with him about the prices for the rest of her life. Backburn's Blaze is Book 14 of the Tombstone MC series. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
