His mouth at her ear, he whispered, “Got him. Stay here. Rest.” He pressed a kiss to her shoulder blade before he left.
Despite her exhaustion, she smiled, watching him head to the bassinet. Her smile didn’t fade. Instead, it widened while she watched Thomas check and change their son’s diaper, talking to him softly as he did. Moments later, he handed him over, so she could breastfeed. Routine by now.
Despite Thomas being now a twenty-five-year-old biker, he fit into his father role perfectly, helping her more than she ever imagined.
He woke at every night feeding insisting he change diapers since she breastfed. He bathed their son and read bedtime stories, too. It surprised most his brothers, her parents, even his mother, but it didn’t surprise her. She knew he’d be a good father because he was so good to her. Still, the tender way he did everything relating to their son touched her in a way she never expected.
As her son began feeding, Thomas did something else that had also become routine. He sat up in bed beside her, slung his arm around her, and shifted her until she lay against him. Then he pressed a kiss against her temple and whispered, “Love you.”
She angled her head to meet his stare and whispered back, “Love you, too.” She said it like she did often, but it never seemed like enough. Every day, she thought her life couldn’t get better.
It did, for them both.
Four years later, Thomas and Tiffany along with their son who resembled his father more and more each day, the same dark hair, the same sapphire eyes, welcomed a daughter, Jackeline Grace Layne.

When the perfect life Alyssa Holden planned turns out to be a life of lies, she runs to her brother, the only person she can trust. She has no idea she’s running straight into a world of badass bikers who live and ride by their own rules. One tatted rebel in particular calls to her wilder side, and while everything in her draws her toward him, every experience she’s had with men warns her away.
Jace Warren is doing what he’s done his whole life—trying to survive, making the best with what he’d been given. The only life that makes sense after the military is Hell Ryder’s Motorcycle Club, but the sweet innocence of his army buddy’s sister promises a different life, one a man like him can only dream of. Problem is, being his MC brother’s sister puts her off limits. Hard as it is, he keeps his distance. Then she kisses him, and all bets are off.

Rose Delaney is a baby bounty hunter, rescuing children from fugitive ex-spouses. All she wants is to return a recovered child to its mother and get back to her regimented solitary life. But when a snow storm leaves her and baby Emmy stranded, Rose has no choice but to lean on the ruggedly handsome rescuer, who thinks the baby is hers. Holed up in their mountain resort-under-construction and unable to contact Emmy’s mother, Rose's priority is hitting the road—even if Garrett’s erotic touch entices her to ride out the storm.
Construction boss Garrett Galo loves his job, but he never imagined a perk like being snowbound during a whiteout with the sassy brunette he just rear-ended. He’s learned to stay away from women who want a family, especially when they come with a kid in tow. When passionate nighttime encounters flare between them, Garrett begins to question what he’d risk to keep Rose.
This isn’t the time or the place for romance—but will five days on a mountain make these loners reconsider giving in to love?
