“I’m going to come to America and find me a biker to marry,” she avowed, and Kenna groaned.

“You are not,” Kenna said.

“I am so,” Phoebe countered.

“How about you get through school first?” I suggested. “There’s always college. We have a great university just down the road and you could always come live with us.”

“Margaret,” Kenna ground out, and I grinned.

“Yes, darling sister?”

Phoebe jumped up and down and clapped her hands. “Yes. Let’s plan to do that.”

“Bloody hell, sissy, Shawn’s going to kill you.”

I chuckled. “He’ll need to catch me first.”

“Don’t be in too big of a hurry to grow up, lovey,” Mum said. “I want you close for as long as I can have you.”

“I know, Granny,” Phoebe said, leaning down to kiss her cheek. “I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.”

“Glad to hear it.”

Niall’s feisty bellow crackled through the baby monitor, so Poppy went to feed him, while the rest of us finished up dinner prep.

We set dishes out onto the table just as the men walked in and washed up. Once Poppy arrived back with Niall, we settled in for a lively family meal.

Hatch

Ihad just walked outof the bathroom when my phone buzzed on the nightstand. Maisie was helping Poppy get Niall down, so I decided to answer the call. I was surprised to see it was Sundance, the president of the Primal Howlers out of Monument, Colorado.

“Hey, Sundance.”

“Hey, brother. You got a minute?”

“Yeah, what’s up?”

“Got a problem that might be too big for our club. I don’t want to talk about it over the phone, but was wondering if I could meet with you next week.”

Sundance had always been a bit of a conspiracy nut, convinced his phones were always being tapped. He never said anything of note over voice or text, believing in-person was the only way to communicate.

“I’m in London, brother. I won’t be back for a few weeks. Can it wait? If not, Doc in Savannah can assist, or you can speak with my VP.”

“It can keep. I’ll fly out there when you’re back.”

“If anything changes, let me know.”

“I will, Hatch. Thanks.”

He hung up and I plugged my phone into the charger.

“Who was that?” Maisie asked as she walked into the room.

“Sundance.”

“From Colorado?”
