Cold as Stone by Evie Mitchell

She came back to bury her past. He’s been waiting to claim his future.

KYA

I swore I’d never set foot in Stoneheart again. But here I am, sorting through the wreckage of my mother’s life—and the lottery ticket worth a million dollars she left behind.

I was ready to leave as quickly as I arrived… until I saw him.

Lee Armstrong. My best friend’s brother. The boy I’ve loved since I was twelve.

I came back to settle an estate. I didn’t expect to buy the local dive bar. And I certainly didn’t expect to start falling for the man who looks at me like I’m both temptation and trouble.

LEE

Kya walking back into my life was the last thing I saw coming. One look and I’m ruined. She was my little sister’s best friend, but now I want her in every way.

But her decision to buy the local dive bar has painted a target on her back. Summit Development doesn’t mess about — they use bruisers and intimidation. As the Stoneheart Motorcycle Club’s enforcer I’m used to dealing with threats. I can stop bullets and bulldozers, but I can’t force her to stay. Getting Kya to believe she’s safe , and that she’s the only woman I want, is a fight I never expected.
