Devil's Crown MC, 6
He came to collect a debt… and found something he refuses to let go.
Silas “Wolf” O’Rourke doesn’t do messy. As the Devil’s Crown MC’s cold, calculating fixer, he cleans up problems before they turn into wars. No emotions, distractions, or exceptions, that’s Wolf’s motto… then Jade comes along.
A broke and exhausted single mother, Jade’s also unfortunately tied to the wrong man. When her deadbeat ex steals from the club and disappears, Jade is left to pay the price. Wolf gives her a choice: work off the debt at the clubhouse or face consequences she can’t afford.
She chooses survival. What neither of them expects is the fire between them. Jade doesn’t bow, or break. Every sharp word, every defiant look, pulls Wolf in deeper. She’s everything he avoids. She’s complicated, vulnerable, and is dangerous to his control. However, when her past comes crashing back, threatening her and her daughter, Wolf makes a decision that changes everything.
She’s not just under his protection anymore, she’s his. In the Devil’s Crown MC, that means forever.
Excerpt:
There was undeniable hunger in his eyes, and it felt like something in him had snapped. Jade gasped softly against his mouth, her hands fisting into his jacket as the kiss deepened, turned urgent, heated in a way that made her head spin.
This wasn’t like the other times, because it wasn’t controlled. Jade preferred this much more, liked seeing this new and wild side of Wolf.
Wolf put his hand to her waist, pulling her closer, eliminating the last inch of space between them. Jade pressed into him instinctively, her body reacting before her mind could catch up. Heat flared through her, sharp and consuming.
She felt it everywhere, in the way he held her. The way he kissed her like he’d been holding back too long. When they finally broke apart, both of them were breathing harder.
They were closer than they should have been, closer than they’d ever been. Jade didn’t step back, because she didn’t want to. She wanted to see where this led. Her pulse pounded in her ears as she searched his face, something wild and uncertain and electric building between them.
“Do you want to stop?” Wolf asked her.
Jade immediately shook her head. “No, far from it.”
“Good,” Wolf said. “I don’t want to either.”
“Do you want to come upstairs?” she asked, feeling bold and reckless.
Jade felt like she, they, were standing on the edge of something. That if they pursued this path, everything would change. Wolf used his thumb to brush the edge of her cheek. It was a small, almost absent movement, but it grounded her more than anything else.
“Yes,” he said, tone filled with certainty.
Something in her chest cracked open at that. A wave of relief filled her, and on the heels of that emotion, anticipation. Wolf leaned in again, his forehead brushing hers for just a moment before his lips found hers again, slower this time, but no less intense.
Jade tightened her fingers in his jacket as she turned, pulling him with her toward the stairs, toward the dim hallway that led to her apartment. Toward something neither of them could take back.
