Hawk's Redemption

By: Eliza Rockwood

Hawk I’ve spent years running from my demons...but they've finally caught up. One morning, I looked in the mirror and saw my father staring back at me—bloodshot eyes, unshaven face, and the same haunted expression that used to send me running as a kid. And it finally hit me—I’m never going to find solace at the bottom of a bottle. So, with the help of my brothers, the Tempest Knights, I start to clean up my act. First step—join AA. I don’t expect much from it, but then I see her. Roxy Lane. The girl who shows up to every meeting, offering snacks and kindness in equal measure. She’s too sweet, too innocent, too good for a broken man like me. And when I find out she’s the preacher’s daughter? That should be my sign to stay away. But how can I, when every instinct tells me she’s the only one who can save me? Roxy Hawk Blackfeather is the last man I should fall for. The MC’s Sergeant-at-Arms is big, broody, and carries scars—both inside and out. I know better than to get too close. I should drop off my snacks for my dad’s AA meetings like I always do and leave. But when Hawk starts showing up early just to see me—telling me he needs me—I’m powerless to walk away. Because he’s not the only one who needs saving. I have a secret. And Hawk may be the only man who can protect me. The Tempest Knights MC is packed with morally gray heroes who’ll do whatever it takes to protect the women they love. If you crave fast-paced, insta-love romance with a touch of suspense and a HEA—jump on, hang tight, and enjoy the ride.
