Ordinance's Battlefield. Badlands Brotherhood MC, #5

She talks too much. He doesn't talk enough. Together, they're explosive. Tessa Brandt built her salon from nothing while everyone said she'd fail. The chatty blonde who can't keep quiet? She proved them all wrong. But when a con man's unhappy wife vents during hair appointments, Tessa accidentally learns secrets that could destroy a twelve-million-dollar fraud operation. Now she's a loose end-and the men who want her silent don't ask nicely.
Enter the man who speaks in explosions. Levi "Ordinance" Hart handles problems for the Badlands Brotherhood MC-the kind of problems that require controlled demolition and zero witnesses. When his president sends him to protect a threatened salon owner, he expects a quick job. What he gets is a woman who fills every silence with words, sees straight through his quiet exterior, and makes him want things he'd given up on.
But Curtis Walker's fraud empire is crumbling, and he'll destroy anyone who threatens it. When Walker's enforcers come for Tessa, Ordinance does what he does best: turns the threat to ash. Now she's under Brotherhood protection, living in his cabin, and the woman who talks too much is teaching him that silence isn't the only way to be heard. In the Badlands, you protect what's yours with everything you've got.
And Tessa Brandt is worth burning the whole world down for. ORDINANCE'S BATTLEFIELD is a standalone MC romance with a quiet alpha hero, a heroine who never shuts up (and shouldn't have to), and a guaranteed HEA. This is Book 5 in the Badlands Brotherhood MC series.
