Gunner - The Blood Brotherhood, #4

Gunner A man's nothing to his club if he can't ride. So what could she ever see in me? Since the fight with the Street Wolves that left me injured, our alpha's mate Layla has been doing her best to heal me. Her magic is strong-but my wounds stubbornly refuse to heal all the way, leaving me pained and unable to ride or fight for long. Which means desk duty-or rather our version of it, helping Jade out at the new Paradise strip club. It should be an easy job, but I don't want easy.
I want the place I've earned in the club, a role that satisfies me to the point that I've never even worried about my lack of a mate. Until Jade starts sticking her nose in my problems, trying to help-and I realize that maybe the woman I needed is the one right in front of me. Problem is-I don't deserve her. Not like this, when I can barely even ride, barely even let my bear out for a run. I'm half a man, and after what Jade's been through? She deserves everything. Jade I lost a mate once.
I don't think I can do it again. Gunner is everything a Penfell Heights woman should want. Handsome, strong, with just that sexy edge of danger-he ought to be in high demand. But he's always kept to himself, seemingly uninterested in a lifelong commitment. But then he walks into my club, and I feel the sparks. More than that, I feel the pull to comfort him, to heal him, in the ways that only a mate can.
But I lost my first love, and I've seen what this life can do to a man-the violence of it. Flint says those days are over, but I'm not sure I believe it. They say it's better to love and lose than not to love at all. But I'm not sure I believe that anymore. Gunner is a full length standalone and the fourth entry in the Blood Brotherhood series. If you like sexy bear shifters who will do anything to protect their mates, a strong wolf shifter heroine, motorcycle clubs, and a small town with plenty of heat, you'll love this series! Book 1: FlintBook 2: SlashBook 3: BladeBook 4: GunnerBook 5: Talon
