She held scissors to a smuggler's throat and refused to break. The outlaw who'd been buying flowers for six months decided she was his.

Wendy Sutter built her flower shop in a dying town because beautiful things still matter. When a smuggler demands she turn her business into a waypoint for his operation, she says no?even after he burns her van and puts her driver in the hospital.

Crossroad didn't plan to claim her. He'd been walking into Ozark Blooms for six months, buying arrangements for his mother's grave, telling himself he just liked watching her work. But when armed men kick down her door and she fights back with nothing but scissors and fury, something primal snaps into place.

She's his.

Now Wendy's under Outlaw protection whether she likes it or not. She's riding on his bike, sleeping in his bed, and discovering that the quiet customer who bought flowers was never just grieving?he was waiting.

But the smuggler who wants her shop has sixteen men and eighteen years of bodies behind him. And when he sends an army to take what he's claimed, Crossroad will have to show her exactly what an Ozark Outlaw does to anyone who threatens his woman.

CROSSROAD'S FURY is book 11 in the Ozark Outlaws MC series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
