Ace's Redemption. Leatherneck Brotherhood MC, #10

She arrested a the nephew of a cartel leader. Now a Marine tactical coordinator will eliminate the entire organization threatening what's his. Lucia Vega spent years building Vega Bail Enforcement-tracking bail jumpers through eastern North Carolina, proving a woman could excel at work most men won't touch. But when she arrested Eduardo Salazar on a routine bond skip, she didn't know he was cartel royalty.
Now his uncle Hector has sent sicarios to hunt her with military precision, destroyed her business, and marked her for death by professional killers who think unlimited resources make them untouchable. Ace flew helicopters for sixteen years before realizing the men on the ground mattered more than anything he'd find in the cockpit. But when he finds Lucia fighting cartel soldiers alone despite watching her entire life burn, every protective instinct roars to life.
She's his to defend. Anyone who threatens her dies. Lucia fights beside his brotherhood when Salazar's sicarios assault their compound. Proves she's warrior enough to handle his brutal world. Makes him want something beyond brotherhood for the first time since coming home. But Salazar escalates with coordinated assaults, professional sicarios, and a corrupt DEA agent feeding intelligence that makes him believe cartel power keeps him untouchable.
He's about to learn what happens when you threaten a Marine's woman. Ace will eliminate every threat with lethal precision. Lucia's not just under his protection-she's his to claim, his to keep, his to defend until the only thing left standing is their future together. Semper Fi means forever. So does his claiming.
