King of Clubs by K.L. Ramsey

Ryker wasn’t sure how the hell he was going to pull his bar out of the red and pay off the loan sharks who were now darkening his doorstep. He was in over his head, but as the Prez of the Smokey Bandits, there was no way that he’d let his club down. He knew he could go to Ace and ask him for help, but that wasn’t something he wanted to do. Ace couldn’t bail him out every time he found himself in hot water. He had a plan to hire a few pretty waitresses and a new cook to help bring in some fresh clientele to the bar. He just never planned on falling for his sexy new waitress or her kid.
Harlow had made some fantastically bad decisions when it came to choosing men. Her ex-husband had tried to kill her and the scar he left down her right cheek was her constant reminder that she was done with men. She was trying to find her way back into the land of the living when she found the ad for a local dive bar needing a waitress. She had zero qualifications and waiting tables seemed a better choice than letting her little girl go without the things that she needed. Sure, she found her new boss hot, but he seemed to be as bad a decision as her ex was. There was no way that she’d fall into his bed because that wouldn’t end well for her—it never did.
