The Outlaw's Runaway Waitress

Dahlia drags a tarp over a gray sedan behind the laundromat at dawn.

I walked out of town before sunup and found my car where I left it, gray with a busted taillight.

I drove it behind the laundromat and threw a tarp over it.

Hide the thing he'd come looking for. Hide it like I used to hide money in my shoe.

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.
