I run the Grim Covenant. Eight ex-military brothers. One mountain town. A code that does not bend. Then Tessa Quinn walked into my mill with her dead brother’s name and a drive full of proof his “accident” was a lie. She’s fifteen years younger. Curvy. Hunted. Looking at me like I’m the last locked door left. Dean told her to find me. I’m supposed to be her shield. His commanding officer. The man she runs to—not the man who puts a ring on her finger before noon so the whole county understands the new math. Every night she’s under my roof, I lose the war I promised him I would never start. The leak is already inside my town. The men coming for her think they’re hunting a bookkeeper. They have no idea she just married the man who buries problems in the woods. He hunts them now. Read the stand-alone. Claimed. Spicy. No cheating. HEA with teeth.
