Blackhawk — L. Ann Marie

Cloud was burned by a woman he was ready to marry. Since then he's concentrated on his obligations to work, the MC, and his people on the reservation. He has been spending more time with the MC so he can get closer to his cousin the VP, Steve Knight, and his family. He found him a couple of years ago and was shocked that he had family he had never met. Being raised by his grandparents on the reservation, wasn't even close to being bad, but he has always longed for more family.He hopes to get Steve and his family to embrace their Native culture and heritage. He would be proud to introduce them to his tribe. Steve spends time with Cloud but not enough to learn of his people, the Mohegan tribe of Connecticut. Cloud isn't giving up, though.Getting over Mia, he decides it's time to start looking for a woman that would accept him, his heritage, his job, and his MC. Once he finds her he needs to convince her to have kids to fill the house he built for his future family. His buddies on the reservation think he's nuts and warn him of bringing a woman to the seven bedroom house. Maybe finding that woman won't be easy, but he's got the time.CJ lived in care. She hated almost all the homes she was in except the last. She spent two years learning what it means to have a family. Her foster parents were in a car accident just after she aged out and the kids moved to the west coast with relatives. She misses them and could use their help and advice from time to time. She met an elderly aunt through friends and finally had family that was her own. When her aunt died she left her house to CJ and she was able to open a second group home and take more kids that needed to learn what a family is. She loves her job and her life as a foster parent. Her lying cheating husband did not. Once he took everything he wanted from her he ran off with the kids' caseworker, telling her how inept she was and she's no good at anything but being a stay-at-home mom. She gave up on men, convinced no one else would want to deal with her life and job. She wasn't leaving the kids or her job for a man, so she's resigned to live single. She hoped for at least a date here and there, but it's just not in the cards for her.This is the story of Cloud and CJ.
