In a tangled mess of betrayal and chaos, I was moved almost overnight onto rival territory under the protection of the one man I never wanted to be a burden to. Jameson King. To keep me safe, he handed me a ring and told me I’d become his wife. It’s a marriage made of convenience, but there’s a thread of truth neither of us want to examine. The past we’re ignoring, the almost we could have had if our lives were different. If I hadn’t chosen wrong.

Book Review | Where We Belong – Ashley Munoz (Stone Riders MC Series, Book Two)
This all-new small-town romance is packed full of motorcycle club suspense, and fans of the one-bed trope, are going to devour every word. They call him the Wolf. His club, his brothers, and even my best friend Callie. I didn’t really care what they called him, not when the only name I had ever called him was, coward. Because three months ago he snuck under my resilient heart, like the thief he is, and stole it. Then he broke it. Going home wasn’t an option, not when I promised Callie I’d stay. She swore I’d eventually feel like I belonged in this small town. The club ensured I had a job, and a place to live which reluctantly earned my loyalty. Until I discovered their little caveat. The apartment technically belonged to the new president. I was welcome to stay…as long as I understood it meant sharing.
