Claimed by the Mechanic Mountain Man

Forced Proximity Quick Read Romance

By: Jessa Ford

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A diner booth. A tattooed stranger with grey eyes. And the two desperate words that changed everything: Kiss me.

Riley

Two weeks hiding in Wildridge. No phone. No trail. Cash only.

Then my ex walks into the diner.

My only option is the man in booth seven—back to the wall, ink up both forearms, built like trouble.

I slide into his booth and beg him to kiss me. Just for show.

He cups my jaw like I’m already his. Tells me to breathe.

Then he kisses me deep—no acting, no mercy.

He memorizes my ex’s plates. Gives me a safe place to sleep.

I should be running.

Not melting every time he says my name.

Smoke

One kiss. That's all it took.

Wanting is how men like me cross lines.

She thinks I’m just a mechanic with ink.

She has no idea what I am. What I’ve done. What these hands are capable of when someone threatens what’s mine.

She walks around my place in borrowed flannel, eating cinnamon rolls like she owns the place.

I sleep on the couch.

Keep my distance.

Tell myself I can hold the line.

Then her ex comes back — with the kind of connections that make people disappear.

He sized me up in that diner and flinched.

He should have run.

An ex-MC mechanic with a past he can't outrun. A woman hiding from the mob. One fake kiss that ruined them both. A steamy Wildridge Alphas fast-burn romance with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.
