Boot's Promise. Leatherneck Brotherhood MC, #11

She witnessed a crime lord's execution. Now a Marine prospect will eliminate anyone hunting what's his. Heather Alvardo spent three years as a delivery driver-running packages through Jacksonville, saving for college, building a future through honest work. But when she walked into a warehouse and witnessed Leon "King" Washington murder a man, she didn't know she'd just become a target. Now a crime lord's entire operation wants her dead, corrupt cops are blocking every escape route, and the enforcers hunting her think twenty years of territorial control make them untouchable.
Boot served four years as Marine infantry bleeding through Afghanistan before realizing civilian life felt empty without a mission, without brothers. But when he finds Heather at his compound looking like the world is ending, every protective instinct roars to life. She's his to claim. Anyone who threatens her dies. Heather fights beside his brotherhood when King's enforcers assault their compound.
Proves she's warrior enough to handle his brutal world. Makes him want something beyond prospecting for the first time since coming home. But King escalates with coordinated assaults, professional muscle, and corrupt law enforcement that makes him believe his six blocks keep him untouchable. He's about to learn what happens when you threaten a Marine's woman. Boot will eliminate every threat with reckless courage tempered by hard-earned discipline.
Heather'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.
