----------
I would strongly suggest read books 1 - 5 in this series. There are a multitude of characters in the series with more being added in each book.
At the beginning we learn that Amanda is a tattoo artist who is invited by Ben to open a shop in the MC's guarded territory. The more she works in her shop and with the people of the MC they become the family support she has needed, the women of the club are her main support.
Bob meets Amanda in her Tattoo shop when he and Chet are sharing her. Bob knows there is something going on between himself and her but with Chet there, he doesn't find out what.
After Bob and Chet leave we find out that today was the day of Amelia's death. Amanda has made a Bucket List of things Amelia never got to do; one is a three-way. Tonight, Amanda crosses that off the list. But she isn't thrilled Bob was in on it. She has had a crush on him since she moved into the yard and he had helped her.
Next we find Bob and Danny on a ride. During the wars, Bob is always paired with Danny and rides on his right side due to Danny's loss of that eye. Tonight, they are running down a lead from one of the Associates who had been in one of the club owned bars and heard the guy whose home they stop at questioning members about some of the MC members kids (who the whole club protect with their lives.)
In time, Tess reads Amanda's crush on Bob and Rich fills Bob in on how he knows Bob checks her out. Tess, Amanda and their friends have a "girls night" at one of the club owned bars where Bob is working. Amanda knows what's up and goes to Nancy's store to get something for the night. (Tess had told Nancy what's up and she already has outfits picked for Amanda). Amanda picks out a black dress with basically no back, but fully covered front.
Bob ends up going over to the girls table, squeezing Amanda's shoulder and telling her he needs to talk to her and would she like to go out with him at 9:00 that evening. She says yes. They end up in a bar, in another town, and, basically, he apologizes to her for how they met and what he thought of her then but now knows that was so not her. They agree to star from scratch right then and there.
