She'd survived war zones. He was still fighting to prove he belonged in one. Ellie Cade spent five years photographing the worst places on earth. Conflict zones, checkpoints, the aftermath of men who believed they owned everything-she documented it all and came home to Manitou Springs to shoot portraits and forget she was brave. When a wealthy stalker lets himself into her apartment, destroys her studio, and sends surveillance photos through her mail slot, she recognizes the pattern. She's seen it in countries where men like this don't stop. Ascent didn't join Battle Born MC for protection. The former Marine prospect grew up proving he belonged-to his country, his Corps, his club. Works twice as hard as everyone because he's terrified the moment he stops, someone decides he doesn't count. But when he meets a photographer who reads danger faster than most people read menus, the hustle stops being about earning a patch. She becomes the one thing he's not willing to lose. Ellie doesn't need a man who works himself to death for her. She needs someone willing to be still long enough to be seen. And Ascent has never stopped moving long enough to let anyone look. But the man who wants her doesn't hear the word no, and his money makes police reports disappear. And Ascent won't stop until the last man between Ellie and her peace is buried on the estate he thought made him untouchable. Ascent's Anger is a standalone MC romance in the Battle Born MC series, with a relentless alpha hero earning his patch, a heroine who's photographed worse, and a guaranteed HEA. Contains mature themes and violence.
