She pulled a gun on him the first time they met. He's been hers ever since.

Tessa Burke spent four years rebuilding herself after escaping a monster. She built a thrift store from nothing, testified against the man who nearly killed her, and promised herself she'd never be a victim again. But now her ex is out of prison?and he's coming for her with an army at his back.

Gearhead doesn't do people. As the Ozark Outlaws' mechanic, he fixes machines because they're honest?they either work or they don't, and they never lie about which. But when he walks into a thrift store looking for vintage tools and finds a woman pointing a pistol at his chest with shaking hands and steady eyes, something shifts.

She's his.

Now Tessa's under his protection whether she's ready for it or not. She's sleeping in his cabin, wearing his patch, and making his brothers wonder if their quiet mechanic has finally found something worth more than engines.

But the monster hunting her won't stop until she's broken or dead. And when his army comes for the compound, Tessa will have to decide: hide behind the men protecting her?or fight beside the outlaw who's claimed her heart.

GEARHEAD'S WAR is book 10 in the Ozark Outlaws MC series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
