Dead ThrottleA Motorcycle Club Cozy Mystery

Coming home is hard. Finding a body makes it worse.

Harlow Reed left Cedar Hollow nineteen years ago and never looked back. A successful marketing executive in Portland, she had no reason to return—until her mother died and left her Ironside, the motorcycle lifestyle shop that’s been the heart of Main Street for two decades.

Six weeks later, Harlow is still here. Still unable to sell the shop. Still pretending she’ll be gone by Christmas.

Then the Thunder & Timber Rally rolls into town, bringing hundreds of riders, a weekend of chaos—and a dead body behind the community center.

The victim was a visiting biker who walked into Ironside the night before he died and asked Harlow a question that won’t stop echoing: Your mother—she was June, right? She kept records?

Now Harlow is asking questions of her own. Caleb “Ghost” Voss—the club’s VP, the boy she once kissed behind the clubhouse who’s grown into a man she can’t stop noticing—is telling her to leave it alone. The sheriff is calling it a bar fight gone wrong. And a friendly rally vendor with a too-perfect story is hiding something beneath her smile.

Harlow’s marketing brain is trained to spot when someone’s selling a lie. And someone in Cedar Hollow is running the campaign of a lifetime.

Dead Throttle is the first book in the Iron & Ink series—a cozy mystery with motorcycle club heart, a grumpy shop cat named Diesel, a brooding VP called Ghost who’s been carrying a torch for nineteen years, and Pacific Northwest atmosphere that’ll make you crave black coffee and fall leaves. Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Tonya Kappes, and readers who like their cozies with a little edge and a lot of slow-burn tension.
