Cavern's Depths

She ran at a burning van with a fire extinguisher. The man watching from the shadows decided she was his. Abby Mercer built her bakery from nothing—two years of farmers markets, every penny saved, sixty-hour weeks until Sweet Ridge became proof that the hungry kid she used to be could create something beautiful. When a crime family decides her shop is the perfect front for their operation, she refuses to sell. Even when they burn her van. Even when they nail dead rats to her door. Cavern has spent ten years disappearing into darkness. As the Ozark Outlaws' underground specialist, he knows every cave, every passage, every place where bodies go to never be found. The surface world has never felt like home—until he watches a flour-dusted baker fight a losing battle against flames with nothing but stubborn courage. She's his. Now Abby's hidden in his caves, wearing his protection, and making him question everything he thought he knew about light and darkness. The crime family hunting her has money, soldiers, and two generations of taking whatever they want. But they've never faced a man who knows the underground better than they know their own names. And when the war moves into his territory, Cavern will show them exactly what waits in the dark. CAVERN'S DEPTHS is book 8 in the Ozark Outlaws MC series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
