She reached for a bat when his men came for her. The heavy equipment operator watching from his regular booth decided nobody was touching her again.
Della Quinn spent twelve years as a Marine, kicking down doors in Afghanistan. Now she's built something peaceful?a coffee shop that's become the heart of her community. When a construction kingpin decides her building is in his way, she refuses to sell. The beatings don't change her mind.
Gravel didn't plan to get involved. He's just a customer who appreciates good coffee and the woman who makes it. But when he watches her swing a bat at men who've already cracked her ribs once, something breaks loose inside him.
She's his.
Now Della's caught in a war between the Ozark Outlaws MC and a man who's buried his enemies in quarry pits for twenty years. She can fight?God knows she can fight?but even a Marine can't survive alone against an army.
When the final battle comes, she'll have to choose: stay the woman who needed no one, or claim the outlaw who refuses to let her go.
