Hard to Teach: A Motorcycle Club Romantic Suspense: 3

Elodie Vance knows when something is wrong.At Blackstone Landing High, the signs are small at first: new money, polished lies, gifts no one can explain, and a "charity" program that feels a little too interested in the right kids. Elodie refuses to look away, even when the town makes it clear she should.Ryder Keene, Road Captain for the Blackstone Renegades, reads trouble by routes, timing, and who starts watching too closely. He sees the pattern before anyone wants to say it out loud: Crown & Chain is no longer circling bars and backroads. They're moving upstream, using the school to reach vulnerable teenagers before anyone can stop them.Elodie wants no part of club protection. Ryder knows wanting has nothing to do with danger.When a student disappears for a night and Elodie ends up on the wrong list, a tense alliance turns into something far riskier. Ryder is all control, restraint, and hard edges. Elodie is smart enough to know that being protected is not the same thing as being owned. But the closer they get, the tighter the pressure becomes-from Crown & Chain, from the town, and from the people who would love to turn one wrong move into a public story.Because in Blackstone Landing, love is a liability. And if Ryder lets himself want her, he makes her a target.
