Lusting After Layla

In a town like Red Maple Falls, even secrets don't stay buried forever.At just twenty years old, Layla Marshall put her dreams on hold to raise her baby brother and sister after their mother died. Twelve years later, with her siblings grown and gone, the house is too quiet-and the loneliness is impossible to ignore. Seeking distraction, Layla finds herself drawn to the local pub and its sexy, tattooed owner… the man she's secretly wanted for far longer than she should. Declan Dwyer didn't come to Red Maple Falls looking for connections. Hiding from a dangerous past tied to the motorcycle club life he left behind, he's spent years keeping his distance. But Layla Marshall has been on his radar since the first time he saw her in purple scrubs-and staying away from her is becoming impossible. As friendship turns into something deeper, Declan's past comes crashing back into his present, threatening everything he's built. Faced with the choice to run once again or fight for the life-and the woman-he never thought he could have, Declan must decide if love is worth the risk. Lusting After Layla is a friends-to-lovers MC small-town romance filled with danger, devotion, and a love strong enough to change everything, and is part of the beloved Red Maple Falls romance series.
