Sometimes the heart desires what it can’t possess.

That is the motto Silas Mackenzie, the chief executive from the Dixie Wardens MC, offers lived by since he was a young man.

Now he’s well on the path to middle age, has three grown children, and he’s lusting after a female he should stay away from.

Especially one which his ex-girlfriend had given birth to, and been only 27 years old.

Sawyer isn’t a little girl in mind, though.

She’s seen the inside of a jail cell for eight long years, and each one of them she spent spending money on a crime she didn’t commit.

Silas Mackenzie knows when he views her that the girl has sacrificed plenty of.

And maybe . simply maybe . . . so has Silas.

It’s period for Silas Mackenzie to get what he deserves, and place a little bit of happy back into Sawyer’s world, a single tough, bearded kiss at a time.

Contains mature themes.
