Title: Cynic’s Stance
Series: Riot MC Biloxi Series
Author: Karen Renee
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: February 22, 2022




Cynic believes in a good time, not a long time; itโ€™s understandable since his wife cheated after twelve years of marriage. Now that heโ€™s single, variety is the spice of life, and he keeps his life spicy. He avoids women looking for commitment.

As the Sergeant-at-Arms for the Riot MC, when heโ€™s ordered to protect Fiona Brinkley from her ex-fiancรฉ Cynic battles an almighty attraction. A battle he loses.

Fiona thinks Cynic is off-limits. The last time she saw him, he was married to his high school sweetheart. However, that was years ago, and things have changed. When Cynic suggests a good time with him, she jumps at the chance. Itโ€™s the best chance sheโ€™s ever taken. She falls for Cynic, but heโ€™s the wrong man.

He doesnโ€™t want the things she does: commitment and building a family.

Can Fiona shift Cynicโ€™s stance, so heโ€™ll take a chance on a long time that promises to be a good time?






Weโ€™d barely taken one step when Cynicโ€™s phone rang. He let go of me to grab the phone. โ€œThatโ€™s Harโ€™s ringtone. I gotta take this.โ€
He stepped further down the hallway, leaving me with his parents.
โ€œIโ€™ve got to use the restroom. Iโ€™ll be right back, dear,โ€ Teresa said.
Irv stood when she did. I debated going with her, but I had no need.
Irv stepped a little closer. โ€œIโ€™m glad we have this moment. If you havenโ€™t figured it out, I like you for him. The last eight years have been difficult, not just for him, but for his mother and me. We want him to be happy, and I know, for some people, marriage isnโ€™t for them.โ€
I nodded, and faintly drawled, โ€œRight.โ€
โ€œMy boy isnโ€™t one of those people. He was happy as a clam with Jessica. She stomped his heart flat with what she did.โ€
I gave him a closed-lip smile. โ€œI know, sir, and it took quite a bit to convince Cynic that I wouldnโ€™t do anything like that to him.โ€
He stared into my eyes for a long, uncomfortable moment before he finally spoke. โ€œSee that you donโ€™t. Youโ€™re beautiful and appear to make him happy, but if you betray him like that, itโ€™ll break him.โ€
โ€œI did not just hear you,โ€ Cynic ground out in a sinister voice.
I turned around and put a hand to his chest. But he only had eyes for his pop. Still, I said, โ€œCalm down. He didnโ€™t do anything wrong, honey.โ€
That got me his angry eyes. โ€œHe didnโ€™t? Warning you not to betray me isnโ€™t wrong?โ€ He looked past me to his dad, but said, โ€œIt isnโ€™t his place to do that shit.โ€
I rubbed his name patch on his cut. โ€œIsnโ€™t it though? Youโ€™ll always be his son, no matter your age. Family looks out for family, โ€™Nic.โ€
His chin dipped down and he looked into my eyes. The anger had dissipated. โ€œHe doesnโ€™t need to.โ€
My lips quirked to the side skeptically. โ€œThat doesnโ€™t matter. He loves you. Itโ€™s what parents do.โ€
โ€œWhatโ€™s going on?โ€ Teresa asked as she walked up to us.
โ€œDadโ€™s oversteppingโ€ฆ as usual.โ€
โ€œHe is not,โ€ I whispered.
โ€œI was. I am. And Iโ€™ll do it again,โ€ Irv said, clapping Cynic on the bicep.
