He read the whole room the second he walked in. He read her faster.

Marin Everts has spent six years learning to keep her voice level. She runs her father's dying diner, raises her son alone, and folds the foreclosure notice in her apron pocket until the crease goes soft — because the only door left open has her ex-husband's face on it. Wade is a county detective who never raises his hand. He doesn't have to. He lays his threats down gentle, side by side, and lets you build the gallows yourself.

Then a motorcycle big enough to rattle the windows pulls into her lot.

Rogue carried his dying captain forty minutes through a war and spent four years believing the lesson was never go back. He came in for a coffee to go. He stayed because he watched a tired woman put her body between him and her boy without thinking — the same move he'd make, the same one he has made — and something in him that died in the sand woke up and refused to lie back down.

He won't rush her. He won't cage her. He'll just be close enough to move when the badge comes back.

But a man who does his violence through other people's clean hands is the hardest kind to stop, and Wade has the whole system behind him. So the Iron Vow MC will do it their way — slow, legal, and patient — while Rogue learns the hardest thing a man like him ever learns: how to stand still behind the woman he'd cross any line for, and let her way be the way.

Because the only difference between Marin and the last woman Wade erased is this: she has people who'll come looking.

Rogue's Duty is a slow-burn, emotionally-driven MC romance with a curvy single-mom heroine, a touch-starved veteran who falls first, a found family that closes ranks, and a small-town diner worth fighting for. Steamy and tender in equal measure.
