The Monthly Chapter | August 2024

Aug. 01, 2024

August Monthly Chapter Updated 2025

Welcome to The Monthly Chapter for August 2024.

Every time I say I have plans over here things happen and they fall through so I am not saying that this month. You will have noticed that some things have started to change a bit. More will be coming and when I am finished (fingers crossed it is this month) then I will have a big giveaway. It is a big work in progress and I am more determined than ever to get things done here.

There is so much I need and want to get done here. I have left my recommendations the same this month as last simply for time’s sake. I have a change up coming soon to The Monthly Chapter so I wanted to be able to start that fresh next month. I hope y’all enjoy the new things that are coming your way.

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. Sheโ€™s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm canโ€™t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land thatโ€™s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that sheโ€™s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man thatโ€™d been worming his way into her fatherโ€™s good graces while sheโ€™d been away pursuing higher education.

But she canโ€™t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mindโ€”avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

Heโ€™s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesnโ€™t stand a chance against Denverโ€™s determination and charm. Heโ€™s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he wonโ€™t stand for her refusal.

Heโ€™s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesnโ€™t even know it.

He wonโ€™t stop now, even if sheโ€™s bound and determined to stay away.
