Wake's Wrath (Ozark Ridgerunners MC #18)

He fixes what’s broken. She’s the one thing he’ll burn down the world to keep.

Marley Boone has spent three years holding onto her uncle’s dive bar through spite and stubbornness alone.

She doesn’t need saving. Doesn’t need a man.

And she definitely doesn’t need the quiet prospect who sits at the end of her bar every night and watches her like she’s something worth fighting for.

Then a nomad biker gang walks into the Rusty Anchor and breaks her bouncer’s arm with a pool cue. New management. Serve and smile, sweetheart.

They picked the wrong woman to threaten.

Wake handles the club’s marine operations—every boat, every dock, every cove on the lake. A former marina mechanic who lost his job to nepotism, he’s spent two years proving he earns his place through work, not blood. He keeps his head down, his hands busy, and his heart locked tight.

But when he walks into the Anchor and sees a woman with murder in her eyes pouring free drinks for men who want to destroy her, something shifts in a man who thought he’d stopped wanting things.

She pours his drinks. 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 Marley is pulled deeper into the Ridgerunners’ world—into Wake’s cabin, into his life, into the brutal war being waged against nomads who’ve taken her bar hostage—she realizes she’s not just falling for a man who fixes engines and kills without hesitation.

She’s becoming the reason he finally fights for something that matters.

His old lady. His anchor. His everything.

But the Razorbacks aren’t finished. They’re coming with more muscle, more violence, and a leader who doesn’t let go of what he wants. To survive, Marley will have to stop holding on alone and start trusting the man who showed up at her bar and refused to leave.

A bartender who kept a dead man’s legacy alive—and the biker who gave her something worth keeping it open for.
