Blurb

He’s calm on the surface. Underneath, he’ll drown anyone who threatens what’s his.

Penny Bradshaw built her pet grooming business from nothing—a mobile van, a dream, and twenty-nine years of learning to smile through chaos.She doesn’t need rescuing. Doesn’t need a man.And she definitely doesn’t need the quiet biker who drops off his German Shepherd every Tuesday and watches her like he’s seeing something no one else can.

Then she finds a dog strangled in her kennel with a note: Next time it’s not a dog.

They picked the wrong woman to threaten.

Eddy handles the jobs that require smooth approaches and quiet disappearances. A former whitewater instructor who learned that panic kills, he keeps everything churning beneath the surface where nobody sees it. He’s never let anyone close enough to find the currents underneath.

But when he walks into Pampered Paws and sees red-rimmed eyes on a woman with a spine that won’t break, something shifts in water that’s been still for years.

She boards his dog. That makes her his to protect.

What starts as club business becomes something far more dangerous.Every touch is a claim. Every look is a warning to anyone watching.And as Penny is pulled deeper into the Ridgerunners’ world—into Eddy’s bed, into his life, into the brutal war being waged against a drug operation that’s taken her mother hostage—she realizes she’s not just falling for a man who drowns his enemies in lake water.

She’s becoming the reason he finally lets the surface break.

His old lady. His calm. His everything.

But the men running pills through her territory aren’t finished. They’re coming with more muscle, more violence, and threats against everyone she loves. To survive, Penny will have to stop smiling through the chaos and start fighting back.

A woman who rescues broken things—including the most dangerous man in the Ozarks.
