Cavalry''s Charge. Black Hills Riders MC, #17

She was supposed to be easy to break. She proved everyone wrong. Paige Dunlap inherited her aunt's gift shop and the desperate need to prove she wasn't the family screwup everyone expected. When a gambling operation decides her storage room would make the perfect illegal casino, she does the one thing they didn't anticipate-she tells them no. Now Warren Scofield has sent his enforcers to crush her business, terrify her customers, and destroy everything she's built.
But the bubbly blonde behind the counter has backbone they never saw coming. He reads terrain like language. And she's territory worth claiming. Blake "Cavalry" Dawson earned his road name running reconnaissance through Afghanistan's deadliest valleys. Now he's a Black Hills Riders prospect with deployment eyes that scan every room for exits and threats-and a guilt he can't shake from the mission where his intel was ignored and three soldiers died.
When the club sends him to assess a gambling operation threatening Main Street, he finds a woman under siege who refuses to break. She's fierce, she's fighting alone, and she's about to become his. Scofield has run this territory for eight years. He has enforcers, infrastructure, and the dangerous confidence of a man who's never faced real consequences. He's never faced the Black Hills Riders. In the shadow of Sturgis, the club handles problems with violence, not negotiation.
And Cavalry is about to show a gambling boss what happens when you threaten what belongs to him.
