Tailgate's Trial

Three men cornered her in her own parking lot. She told them to go to hell. The big one slammed her into her truck and called it her only free one. Carmen Veranda inherited the Timber Wolf — a roadhouse on Highway 2 that's been serving loggers and bikers for forty years. When a meth dealer from Billings decides her bar is his next distribution point, she does what she's always done: she plants her feet and swings. But a former Golden Gloves boxer with a bat can't hold off fifteen men with guns and a taste for burning buildings. He walked into her bar, saw the bruises she couldn't hide, and decided no one would ever touch her again. Tailgate rides rear guard for the Glacier Kings MC — last in formation, always watching, the man who makes sure nothing catches up from behind. He's spent six years checking mirrors because he learned what happens when you stop. He doesn't do reckless. He doesn't do distracted. And he doesn't fall for a bartender who pours heavy and fights like she was born with her fists up. But Carmen stands her ground against armed men in her own bar. She holds a door with a shotgun when the compound takes fire. She beats his brothers at arm wrestling, takes over the club bar, and calls him by his real name in the dark — the name nobody else gets to use. Now a dealer with fifteen soldiers and a reputation for arson wants the highway corridor, and the only thing standing between Carmen's legacy and ashes is a man who can't stop watching and a woman who refuses to look away. He came to protect her bar. He stayed because she was worth guarding with everything he had. Tailgate's Trial is a full-length MC romance with intense action, possessive heroes, and an HEA. Book 6 in the Glacier Kings MC series.
