He didn't ask permission. She didn't need saving. But some fires burn too hot to fight alone. Jolene Pickett is the third-generation owner of the Broken Spur - a Hill Country honky-tonk her grandfather built with his bare hands. She's spent three years running it alone, pouring whiskey, booking bands, and telling anyone who pushes her exactly where to shove it. Then the Mercer family decides they want her land. Poisoned wells. A burned barn. Bullets through her windows during the dinner rush. The Mercers have been stealing Hill Country property for fifty years, and they've never lost. Jolene's not planning to be the Pickett who breaks - but she's running out of walls to stand behind. Remnant is the president of the Ghosts of the Alamo MC, and the Broken Spur has been Ghost-friendly ground since before he took the patch. When he finds a Mercer foreman backing Jolene against her own door, he throws the first punch and draws a line nobody's crossing twice. Jolene doesn't want a protector. She wants a partner - someone who'll stand next to her, not in front of her. What she gets is a battle-scarred outlaw who looks at her like she's worth going to war for. And war is exactly what's coming. When the Mercers burn her legacy to the ground, Jolene and Remnant will fight back with fists, firepower, and a love forged in mesquite smoke and Texas heat that neither of them saw coming. Remnant's Reckoning is Book 1 in the Ghosts of the Alamo MC series. Full-length MC romance. Complete standalone with a guaranteed HEA.
