Tracker's Temptation

She noticed too much. He couldn't look away. Now they're both marked for death. Regan Cross doesn't do soft. She built Prairie Paws Grooming with callused hands and a reputation for handling the dogs other groomers refuse. No small talk, no sugarcoating, no apologies. But when the trucks start appearing on the hill overlooking her property and the chemical smell drifts across her fence line, being tough isn't enough. She's seen too much. And the men running meth in the Badlands don't leave witnesses. Enter the scout who came back from the dead. Travis "Tracker" Inchville spent six years watching his father die by inches. Now he's returned to the Brotherhood with nothing but patience, grief, and skills that don't care about mercy. When the blunt dog groomer tells him his attitude needs adjustment, something wakes up—something that's been dormant since he stopped believing in tomorrow. But Vic Truland didn't build an empire by letting loose ends breathe. When the operation sends men to make Regan disappear, Tracker does what he does best: waits for the perfect moment, then eliminates threats with the precision of a man who's been planning every shot for hours. Now she's under Brotherhood protection, and the scout who thought grief had hollowed him out is discovering that some women are worth coming back to life for. In the Badlands, patience isn't passive. It's deadly. And for Regan Cross, Tracker will wait as long as it takes—then destroy anyone who threatens the woman who finally made the ghost feel human. TRACKER'S TEMPTATION is a standalone MC romance with a dangerously patient hero, a heroine who refuses to be softer than she is, and a guaranteed HEA. This is Book 10 in the Badlands Brotherhood MC series.
