Forged in Steel: A Steamy MMM Motorcycle Club Romance - Iron & Leather MC [EN], #3

 Gus "Fuse" has spent seven years alone. A former military explosives specialist, he lost his entire unit to a roadside bomb and has kept everyone at arm's length ever since — welding in his shed, handling the club's fabrication work, and avoiding any connection that might give him something to lose. He is convinced that everyone he touches eventually burns.

Rafe and Caleb have been circling each other for two years. Rafe is loud, competitive, and uses humor the way other men use fists — as a weapon and a shield. Caleb is quiet, observant, and sees the things everyone else misses, including the man behind Fuse's walls. They have both wanted Fuse for months, and they have both wanted each other without ever admitting it.

One night during a club party, the three of them descend into the Iron & Leather MC basement and lock the door. What begins as a single, charged encounter evolves into something far more complicated — a closed triad built on trust, negotiation, and an intensity none of them expected. Fuse dominates them both. Caleb switches between topping Rafe and submitting to Fuse. Rafe discovers that surrender, when given freely, is the most powerful thing he has ever done.

But Danny "Crowbar" Keller, a dangerous figure from Fuse's past, has tracked him down. Crowbar wants Fuse for one last job, and he is willing to threaten the club and the two men Fuse has finally let himself care about to get it. Fuse's instinct is to retreat into isolation and handle the threat alone. Rafe and Caleb refuse to let him. What follows is a confrontation that forces Fuse to choose between the survival strategy that has kept him alive for seven years and the possibility of something he never thought he deserved: a future.

Three Deep is a standalone novel in the Iron & Leather MC series.
