Rotor's Rescue. Battle Born MC, #10

She nearly took his head off with a fire extinguisher. He's been hers ever since. Brooke Callahan has spent six years building Little Peaks Daycare into a safe haven for military families near Fort Carson. When a man with dead eyes walks in demanding she hand over a four-year-old girl, she does what she's always done-she refuses to break. But protecting someone else's child puts her directly in the crosshairs of a smuggling network that uses children as leverage.
And these men don't take no for an answer. Rotor left Battle Born MC five years ago, chasing ghosts he couldn't save. The former Air Force Pararescue operator spent three deployments trying to balance scales that would never even out-until he realized the dead don't need saving. The living do. When he walks into a locked daycare and finds a woman armed with nothing but a fire extinguisher and sheer stubbornness, something clicks into place.
She's under his protection now. Whether she likes it or not. What starts as a rescue becomes an obsession. Every time she stands her ground. Every time she proves she's not a damsel but a wall between children and danger. Brooke doesn't need a hero-she needs a partner willing to fight beside her instead of for her. And Rotor hasn't let anyone that close since he stopped believing he deserved it. But the men who want her silenced won't stop until she's gone.
And Rotor won't stop until every last one of them pays for touching what's his.
