Chrome Vendetta

A dead Saint's chrome tank should never have appeared inside a Bellandi auction. Elara Bellandi was raised to be the perfect face of her family's empire calm, polished, useful, and silent. As Bellandi Heritage's restoration expert, she knows how to make damaged things beautiful again. But when a custom chrome motorcycle tank appears under the auction lights, Elara sees what no one else can. A hidden chemical mark beneath the shine.
Her mother's mark. A warning buried inside a piece of stolen motorcycle club history. Gideon "Rook" Cross, road captain of the Argent Saints MC, has spent twelve years living for one thing: revenge. His brother was killed during the Chrome Wake massacre, and Rook has always believed the Bellandi mafia family paid for the blood on that road. Then he sees the tank. His brother's tank. And the Bellandi woman standing beside it may be the only person alive who can read what was hidden under the chrome.
The club wants revenge. The mafia wants silence. Elara wants the truth. Rook wants the woman he should never protect. Forced into a dangerous alliance, Rook and Elara follow a trail of marked chrome, corrupted routes, missing evidence, and buried betrayals. Every clue exposes another lie. Every answer makes them more dangerous to both sides. And every touch between them breaks the rules that were meant to keep their worlds apart.
She is Bellandi blood. He is a Saint sworn to vengeance. Their loyalty should make them enemies. But when Elara becomes the target of her own family's threats, Rook's protection turns possessive, fierce, and impossible to deny. And when Rook's own club begins to fracture, Elara must decide whether the truth is worth losing the only man who has ever protected her choices instead of stealing them. Because the chrome remembers.
And the dead left more than grief behind. Chrome Vendetta is a dark motorcycle club and mafia romance featuring forbidden loyalty, possessive protection, enemies-to-lovers tension, criminal family secrets, road-worn revenge, hidden evidence, emotional danger, and a hard-earned HEA/HFN.
