Shore Leave by Ember Davis

KADE “DRILLER”
Ten years is too long to be working on the rig and I know it. I’m not sure how much more my body can take, but I keep going out for months at a time because it’s the only way I know how to support my mom and sisters. But they’re growing up and my mom needs to get over her dislike of the DSMC; all they want to do is help her.
I haven’t had much of a reason to stay on solid ground, other than my club brothers, but everything changed during my last break. When I met Emery at the club’s bar, I was mesmerized. If obligation hadn’t taken me back out to the rig after the night we spent together, I would have never let her slip away. I haven’t been able to get her off my mind.
With my sister’s graduation, I’m taking a longer shore leave than I have in years, but I’m not doing it just for my family. I’m going to find Emery and prove to her that she’s all I’ve been thinking about for months. When our paths cross unexpectedly, and without me having to track her down, I know fate has stepped in. My brothers and I will help her with what she needs and then I’ll make her mine. This shore leave is all about my woman and maybe, finally, pursuing the dreams I always thought were out of reach.
