She saved the ones no one wanted. He couldn't save the one who needed him most.
Kit Vasquez knows what a dying animal sounds like. Former Army dog handler with two combat deployments, she lost her Malinois partner overseas and came home with steady hands and a hole nothing fills. Now she's a vet tech west of the Springs, saving animals because she couldn't save Razor. When she pulls a dying pit bull from a drainage ditch and discovers a dog fighting operation next door, she does what handlers do—she stays on target.
Suture didn't rejoin Battle Born MC because he missed the brotherhood. The former Special Forces medic left to save veterans from inside the system. Then a patient called at 3 AM and he didn't answer, and by morning the man was dead. Now his surgeon's hands are back where they belong—patching brothers and carrying a guilt that never clots.
When he meets a woman with combat in her eyes and a fighting dog in her spare bedroom, something cracks open. She doesn't need a medic. She needs someone who understands that saving things is how you survive losing them.
But the men who run the fights have been invisible for three generations. And Suture won't stop until every cage on that property is empty and every man responsible is buried in the land they thought was untouchable.
Suture's Awakening is a standalone MC romance in the Battle Born MC series, with a battle-scarred alpha hero, a heroine forged in combat, and a guaranteed HEA. Contains mature themes and violence.
