Merit “Crank” Michaels grew up in the foster care system. He had spent his youth moving from one house to another, never finding a real home. Once he aged out, he joined the Navy and became a SEAL. He planned to make the Navy his home, but a training accident changed that for him, leaving him once again searching for a place to call his own. When Crank joined the Haven MC, he knew he had found what he was looking for. What he hadn’t expected or planned—was falling for Madison Wetzel, his best friend’s baby sister.
Out of respect for his friend and club brother, who had warned him off Madison, Crank initially fought his feelings for her. However, one night with her had led to another, and now he needed to confess the truth to Pinch—everything that happened in Crank’s life had led him to her, and he had no plans to give her up.
Madison Wetzel loved her brother. How could she not? Cal had barely been nineteen and new to the military when their parents died, yet he fought for her and changed his life to take her in. Now, as an adult with an education and a good-paying job, she wanted her brother back, not the parent he had become out of necessity.
At first, she had slowly pushed back on his absurd overprotective inclinations because nothing had meant enough to her to fight over—until Merit “Crank” Michaels.
Madison hadn’t wanted to be the cause of any conflict between Pinch and Crank, so she kept her involvement with Crank private. Even when he pushed her about coming clean with Pinch, she told him there was plenty of time.
Of course, that was before Madison was shot during a bank robbery. Sent to the hospital and ordered to surgery as the doctor dropped a bomb. A bomb leaving the two men she cared most about in the world standing stunned as she’s wheeled down the hall.
