Braddock. Steel City Reapers MC, #7

She kept Braddock's last diner alive. He'll burn down anyone who threatens it. Tanya Kowalski has spent ten years running the Steel City Grill in a town everyone else abandoned-alone, exhausted, and too stubborn to quit. When a drug operation moves into Braddock's empty buildings, demanding she hand over her back room, Tanya does what she's always done: she says no. Then they start scaring off her customers.
Then they corner her in her own kitchen. He's the enforcer who never stopped fighting for his hometown. She's about to become everything he's been searching for. Braddock earned his road name protecting the Mon Valley ghost towns that nobody else remembers. When he discovers the diner where he ate pancakes as a kid is being strangled by predators who think his town is already dead, he rides in ready for war.
What he finds is a woman with diner-strong hands and fire in her tired eyes. A woman who swings a cast-iron skillet at armed men. A woman worth killing for. She's been fighting alone for a decade. He's not asking permission to stand beside her. As the violence escalates and her diner burns to ash, Tanya discovers that the most dangerous man in the Mon Valley is also the only one who's ever believed her town was worth saving.
But loving Braddock means accepting his world-the brotherhood, the brutality, and the claiming that makes her his. Some ghost towns still have protectors. And some women are worth dying for.
