Her boss vanished. His debt didn't. Now the mob wants payment in blood. Jenna Kowalski has spent six years holding everything together. Raising her sister with Down syndrome alone, running a waterfront bar for a boss who doesn't deserve her loyalty, surviving on stubborn will and zero backup. When Gene disappears owing $80, 000 to the local mob, Jenna becomes the leverage. The collectors don't care that she's innocent.
They just want someone to bleed. Then the biker who's been watching her for two years finally stops watching. He's spent a decade addicted to violence. Now he's found something worth the withdrawal. Nathan "Recon" Hansen was the first man through the door on hundreds of Ranger raids-close quarters combat, the brutal intimacy of killing at arm's length. When he left the Army, he brought the addiction with him.
The high of the breach is the only thing that makes him feel alive. Civilian life is gray and empty, and he's convinced he has nothing to offer anyone. Then mobsters threaten the woman he's wanted for two years, and Recon discovers there's something more powerful than the breach: rage with a purpose. The mob boss has soldiers and a reputation. Recon has brothers and no mercy. Dominic Rossi built his empire on fear.
His collectors break bones, his soldiers make problems disappear, and no one defies him twice. The bartender who can't pay her boss's debt is just another example to be made. He doesn't expect the Ranger Regiment MC to claim her as their own. When Rossi's men assault Jenna's bar, the brotherhood responds with devastating violence. And Recon discovers that protecting her isn't about the adrenaline anymore.
It's about finally finding something to fill the emptiness-and destroying anyone who threatens it.
