Respect — Susan Fanetti

Duncan Helm loves the Brazen Bulls MC with his whole heart. It is his family and all he's ever wanted, but he had to fight his father, Maverick, tooth and nail to claim his birthright and wear the Bull. Since he finally got a seat at the table, he's never known a moment of doubt that he is where he belongs. Until now. The club is making a big move, and to get what they want, they're doing things Duncan can't quite square in his conscience. Now he's starting to wonder if the Bulls are what he'd always thought they were, and if not, what that means about who he is. A few years ago, Phoebe Davis returned from Afghanistan with a Purple Heart and a long road to get back to herself and her home. Now she's living a quiet, good-enough life, running a farm-animal rescue in rural Oklahoma, building a found family with her best friends and making it work. But they're living at the edge of their resources, without much room for trouble. As is usually the case, that's when trouble turns up. Duncan and Phoebe meet on a dark, cold January night, on the side of the Broken Arrow Expressway. Phoebe needs help, and Duncan was taught never to ride past a motorist in distress. By the time dawn breaks, they both suspect that chance meeting has changed the route of their future. But Duncan is struggling to understand what path he should be on, and Phoebe is facing the possible washout of her whole life. They don't know if they're heading in the same direction, or if they should be, or if they even can. How much trouble can love overcome?
