Tamarack's Test. Glacier Kings MC, #14

She was shaking behind her own mirrors, and he hadn't felt that kind of rage since the last time someone burned. Maren Cross built her dance studio from nothing - a gutted storefront, a borrowed drill, and the stubborn refusal to let one more man decide what she deserved. When a fencing operation wants her building and sends men who threaten her students to get it, she doesn't flinch. She's been reading dangerous men since childhood.
She knows how to survive. He took one look at her trembling hands and decided the whole valley would answer for it. Tamarack earned his patch through fire - eleven seasons of wildland blazes and a burnover that killed two crew members and left him scarred in ways that go deeper than skin. He doesn't trust command. He doesn't let anyone close. And he sure as hell doesn't fall for the dance teacher at his niece's recital. But Maren doesn't break when his world crashes into hers.
She holds a fire poker during an assault, maps an enemy's operation from memory, and earns the respect of every brother in his club. She traces his scars in the dark without flinching - and calls him by a name nobody else gets to use. Now a criminal empire stands between them and the life they're building. To keep her, Tamarack will walk through every fire between here and the other side. She came for protection.
She stayed because he was worth the burn. Tamarack's Test is a full-length MC romance with intense action, possessive heroes, and an HEA. Book 14 in the Glacier Kings MC series.
