Lane Kincaid’s husband never touched the widow. He just built her a family — planned for months, announced in front of two hundred people, in Lane’s dead father’s bay. She signs the separation clause on Monday. It takes Knox Kincaid nine months, a divorce, and a thirteen-year-old boy telling him the truth to his face to learn the difference between being needed and being loved.
Description
She asked her husband to say he believed her. He asked a question instead.
Scout Whittaker has been married to the president of the Anvil Creek MC for eleven years. She has bandaged his brothers, fed them at her table, and buried one of them. So when Chance comes home on their anniversary carrying lilies he would never have chosen, she knows before he says a word.
Five weeks with his bookkeeper. He tells her at the kitchen table.
Three hours later the club calls Scout to church and accuses her of being the informant. Towing manifests in her garage. Eight thousand dollars in marked cash at the bottom of a storage tote. An access card with her own fingerprints on it. Every man in that room is waiting for her husband to speak.
Chance says: “I need to understand how that card got in your bag.”
It is not the affair that ends the marriage. It is the eight seconds after that sentence.
Four years later Scout’s younger brother is run off a county road at one in the morning, and she comes back to a town that never cleared her name. Underneath the frame she finds something worse than an affair — a brother wearing the same patch who built it, and a death nobody ever called a murder.
Chance Whittaker has spent four years learning exactly what he did. He is about to find out that it buys him nothing, and that the woman who came back is not the one who left.
A second-chance MC romance about a woman framed by the institution that should have protected her, by the man who should have believed her.
ANVIL CREEK MC, Book Two. A complete standalone with a guaranteed happy ending. Dual point of view.
Reader notes: The hero has a five-week affair before the story opens. It is confessed on the page and interrogated at length, and it is never shown. This book contains explicit love scenes, strong language, grief and past pregnancy loss, the death of a parent, motorcycle-club violence, a vehicle assault causing serious injury, public corruption, and references to parental abuse.
If you read Book One: this is a different animal. The Family He Built Beside Me is low-heat and nobody cheats. The Lie He Chose Over Me is explicit and the hero does. The Anvil Creek MC books vary in heat and content by title, and each one says so up front.
