Orbit's Battlefield. Battle Born MC, #11

She turned off his screens. He turned on every alarm in his system. Maren Ashby built Basecamp Coffee from a failed sandwich shop, a YouTube espresso tutorial, and three years of 4 AM mornings. She doesn't need excitement. But when she follows a friend to an underground poker game and witnesses a murder in the back room, excitement finds her-along with a killer's crew who know her name, her shop, and where her mother lives. Orbit didn't come back to Battle Born MC to play hero.
The former Space Force systems operator left the brotherhood for a career that gave him clearances, promotions, and twelve years of screens and silence. Now he's back, trying to earn his place by being indispensable. But when a coffee shop owner with a quick smile and zero tolerance for nonsense lands in his comm room with a gambling syndicate hunting her, the mission stops being about data. She becomes the signal he can't filter out. Maren doesn't need a man who lives behind monitors-she needs one willing to step away from the screens and stand next to her.
And Orbit hasn't let anyone close enough to unplug him in years. But the man who runs the underground games won't leave a witness breathing. And Orbit won't stop until every frequency in that network goes permanently dark. Orbit's Battlefield is a standalone MC romance in the Battle Born MC series, with a cerebral alpha hero, a heroine who makes belonging look easy, and a guaranteed HEA. Contains mature themes and violence.
