Bait's Catch. Liberty City MC, #8

When a street crew threatens to destroy everything she built, she needs the one biker who claims what's his and eliminates anyone who disagrees. Tasha Wilson spent two years building Let's Bounce party rentals from nothing-hauling bounce houses across Philadelphia, proving she could succeed alone. But when the Westside Boys street crew demands protection money she doesn't have, slashes her equipment, and threatens to burn what's left, the message is clear: pay or lose everything.
The cops won't help with street crew extortion. Lawyers cost money she can't spare. Women who defied Tommy Wahlberg disappeared. She needs someone who doesn't negotiate with predators. Bait watched automation destroy the Philadelphia docks and union bosses sell out workers for corporate payoffs. Twelve years as a longshoreman taught him that brotherhood only matters if it can't be bought. Now he's Liberty City MC's enforcer, protecting working families the way corrupt union leadership never protected his.
When Bait spots a woman at a gas station with bruises on her arm and fire in her eyes, he recognizes more than another extortion victim-he sees a woman with backbone refusing to quit when most would run, fighting to protect the business she built from nothing. She's his from that first moment. But Tommy Wahlberg doesn't quit when intimidation fails. He escalates with a protection racket empire that makes him believe he's invincible.
Except Liberty City doesn't recognize protection rackets. Tasha proves herself fighting beside brothers through brutal battles, earning respect through her courage. She's not just his woman-she's the brotherhood's newest old lady. This war ends one way: with Wahlberg blood on Bait's hands and Tasha claimed permanently.
