CONTRACT BRIDE OF THE ALPHA BIKER
“You can hate me all you want, baby, but the contract says you’re mine.”
Ever since a tragic accident took her father's life, Zara Bennett has carried her family's crushing weight alone. With her mother suffering a near-fatal heart attack from the grief and her younger brother spiraling into reckless gambling debts,
Zara works double shifts at a South Side dive bar just to survive. But when she walks in to catch her boyfriend in bed with her coworker, her fragile world shatters completely.
And then the real nightmare begins.
Her brother’s gambling drags him into the sights of the Blackthorn Motorcycle Club, leaving him captured and facing execution for a debt he can't pay. Desperate to save him, Zara comes face-to-face with Knox "Dagger" Blackwood—the ruthless Alpha of the Blackthorn MC and undisputed ruler of Chicago's shifter underworld.
Knox, facing an inpending challenge to his throne at the Winter Solstice needs a blood heir immediately. The second he catches Zara’s scent, his possessive wolf recognizes her as his true fated mate. But knowing a human girl will panic if he claims her overnight, knox uses her family's desperation as leverage, he offers her a cold deal: Sign a one-year Marriage and Surrogacy Contract to bear his heir, and he’ll wipe her brother's debt and pay every cent of her mother’s soaring medical bills.
Locked inside Knox’s high-security compound, Zara struggles against a scorching physical pull she can't fight. But as traitorous pack elders plot their downfall and rival MCs bring war to their doorstep, Zara realizes the hardest part won't be surviving the contract—it will be protecting her heart from the possessive Alpha who claims she was always his endgame.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5***ZARA***Maya stared at me, her chest heaving, tears brimming in her eyes. She knew I was right. In this city, when Blackthorn MC put a hit on your name, there was no court, no law, and no escape.Reaching into her pocket with a shaking hand, Maya pulled out her car keys and shoved them into my palm again.“Take my car then,” Maya choked out, wiping her eyes. “But if you're not back or calling me in three hours, Zee… I swear to God I'm going down to that club myself to burn it down.”“Thank you, babe.” I choked out, throwing my arms around her neck for a brief, tight second before turning on my heel and sprinting out the back door into the pouring rain.Fifteen minutes later, I slammed the brakes outside The Sanctuary Club.Located in the heart of the South Side, the building was a massive, luxurious structure of glass and steel. Neon red letters glowed through the downpour, spelling out the club's name, while a line of luxury sports cars and custom Harleys sat parked beneath the VI

Chapter: CHAPTER 4***ZARA***Three men stepped into the dive bar. They were massive, broad-shouldered, and clad in heavy black leather cuts embroidered with a menacing, silver-fanged wolf emblem—the patch of the Blackthorn Motorcycle Club.The patrons at the front tables scrambled backward, pulling their chairs away as if staying too close to the three men would kill them.The man walking in the lead was huge. He stood well over six-foot-four, with cold, deadly eyes, a sharp jawline covered in light stubble, and tattoos running down the side of his neck. He carried himself with a terrifying, commanding presence that made every human in the room hold their breath.Rook.The Vice President of Blackthorn MC.His dark, icy eyes swept across the room as though he were searching for something until they locked squarely onto me.Rook stopped right in front of my section of the bar. He leaned his massive, leather-clad arms over the counter, stepping directly into my space. The heat radiating from his body made

Chapter: CHAPTER 3***ZARA***The door swung open with a soft creak.Jack sat propped up against the headboard, bare-chested, a lazy smirk on his face as he ran a hand through his dark hair. Sitting across his lap and wrapped tightly in his Egyptian cotton top sheet was Chloe—my general manager at Rust & Bone. Her expensive blonde hair cascaded over her bare shoulders, her manicured fingers resting lazily against Jack’s collarbone.She pressed soft kisses against Jack’s mouth, cheeks, and face while Jack kept his hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer.They both froze, turning to look at the doorway.Chloe didn't flinch when she saw me. She didn't gasp, cover herself, or look even remotely ashamed. Instead, a slow, cruel smile spread across her red lips, her blue eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Like she’d been waiting for me to see this—her and Jack together.Jack’s jaw dropped. The lazy smirk vanished, replaced by a flash of shock that quickly hardened into an icy, annoyed glare.“Zara?” J

Chapter: CHAPTER 2I shoved the phone back into my apron pocket, my hands shaking so violently I could barely keep my feet planted on the floor. Panic was a heavy, suffocating weight crushing my chest. Maya looked at me, her eyes darting across my pale face as she racked her brain.I was already running through every name that could actually help me in this situation in my head—what if I ask Jake's friends, or maybe my coworkers at Rust and bone. But none of them could come up with ten thousand dollars that fast.Or maybe take out a loan. But loan sharks don't give out huge amounts like 10 grand on your first requests. God! What should I do?Then Maya's expression shifted, a sudden spark of hope breaking through her worry."What about Jack?" Maya asked, taking both of my hands in hers. "Zee, ask Jack for a loan."I blinked, taking a ragged breath. "Jack?""Yes! He’s your boyfriend, Zara. He’s been working that corporate job at the regional firm for over a year now. He’s always talking about his savin

Chapter: CHAPTER 1**ZARA**“Hey beautiful, how much would l have to pay for you to spend the night with me.” A guy in a black leather jacket asked, grinning at me like an idiot.l was wiping the tap and cleaning the glass cups for stool three when he held me by the waist. "If you touch my hip again, sweetheart, you’re going to be drinking your beer through a straw for the next six weeks."The guy in the leather jacket laughed. For a second, I thought he wasn't going to stop because, truth be told, he didn't look scared. My fingers tightened around the bar rag, already calculating whether I could reach the baseball bat under the counter before he tried anything stupid.Beside me, Maya slammed a tray of glasses onto the rack so hard the whole shelf rattled. She glared at the guy in the booth, her nails tapping hard against the metal."You heard her," Maya said, pushing her dark hair over her shoulder. "Keep your hands to yourself or I’ll let her hit you with the bat on the counter. And trust me, she hits
