Whiskey & Fire

Harper Quinn swore she'd never come back to Blackwater Ridge. She built a life six hundred miles away in Chicago, trading her small Kentucky hometown for expensive heels, high-stakes courtrooms, and a career powerful enough to prove she'd escaped for good. But when her father dies, Harper returns home expecting to bury him, survive a few days of small-town gossip, and leave before the memories catch up with her. She doesn't expect Riker Vale. Tattooed, dangerous, and now the man at the head of the Hollow Saints motorcycle club, Riker is everything Harper remembers—and everything she spent years trying to forget. He owns Vale's, commands a room without raising his voice, and still knows exactly how to get beneath Harper's carefully polished armor. The chemistry between them never died. Neither did the feelings. But Harper didn't come home carrying only grief. The life she left behind in Chicago is beginning to follow her to Blackwater Ridge, and the secrets surrounding her departure are far more dangerous than anyone realizes. When warnings turn into threats and those threats follow Harper home, Riker refuses to stand by and watch the woman he never stopped wanting face them alone. Harper may be used to fighting her own battles, but Riker has spent years protecting the people he considers his. And whether she's ready to admit it or not, Harper has always been one of them. As old flames ignite and buried secrets surface, Harper must decide whether returning to Blackwater Ridge was only meant to be temporary—or whether the home, family, and dangerously irresistible man she left behind are exactly what she's been searching for all along. Whiskey and Fire is a steamy small-town second-chance romance filled with sharp banter, motorcycle-club danger, suspense, found family, old wounds, fierce loyalty, and a love that refuses to stay buried.
