The Outlaw's Runaway Waitress

The woman crawls toward the back door while the man's back is turned at the refrigerator.

He went to the fridge for another beer, and that was the whole gift. Three seconds with his back to me.

My keys were in my jacket pocket on the chair. I got the jacket, I got the door, and I did not look behind me once.

Synopsis

Dahlia Brooks ran from a man who taught her that trust is a trap. She blames herself for the sister she lost, so she keeps her head down, works cash-only, and answers to a fake name. At Opal's Roadhouse, she is just Dana, a waitress with no past. Then Riggs Calloway walks in. He is president of the Crow Creek motorcycle club, and he owns the roadhouse, the lot, and every favor in town. He sees the fake ID. He sees her flinch when a man raises his voice. He asks questions she cannot answer. Dahlia refuses to be owned again, even by a man whose attention feels like shelter. Riggs can shield her from the ex who is hunting her, but his club is at war with the Jackals, and his suspicion may expose her first.
