Reckless Redemption

He's the enforcer who never lets anyone in. she's the woman running for her life. in a small Montana town, redemption comes with a deadly price. Elena Vance was a woman defined by her silence. For three years, she lived in a gilded cage in Chicago, married to a man who used his wealth and charm to mask a terrifying darkness. When she finally escaped, she left with nothing but a garbage bag of clothes, a few hundred dollars, and the faded bruises Derek left behind as a parting gift. Her destination: Cedar Falls, Montana—the only place that ever felt like home, and the location of the small, weathered cottage she inherited from her grandmother, Rosa. Elena just wanted to disappear. She wanted to breathe the crisp mountain air, air out the ghosts of her past, and reclaim the woman she used to be before she became a victim. But in a town of 4,200 people, secrets are hard to keep, and the shadows of her past are longer than she imagined. Enter Jude "Wraith" Callahan. As the Sergeant-at-Arms for the Iron Reapers Motorcycle Club, Jude is a man of few words and even fewer attachments. A former Army Ranger with a dishonorable discharge and a heart full of guilt, he's spent years convinced that he is beyond saving. He handles the club's security and enforcement with a cold, surgical precision that earned him his nickname. He doesn't do "hero." He doesn't do "love." He certainly doesn't do "redemption". When a green-eyed stranger with a haunted gaze walks into The Rusty Spoke, Jude's world shifts on its axis. He recognizes the look in Elena's eyes because he sees it in the mirror every morning—the look of someone who has seen the worst the world has to offer and survived. Despite her fierce independence, Elena finds herself drawn into the protective orbit of the Iron Reapers. When Derek Vance—wealthy, obsessive, and dangerous—finally tracks her down to the mountains of Montana, he expects to find a broken woman. Instead, he finds a woman who has found her strength and a man who is willing to burn the world down to keep her safe. In the high-stakes world of the Iron Reapers MC, the only thing more dangerous than the enemies at the gate is the fire burning between two broken people who have finally found something worth fighting for.
