Thrash's Rampage. Creeping Death MC, #5

She refused to break for one MC. A rival club's enforcer made her his. Gina Ferraro spent eight years building Sacred Ink from nothing-one chair, one client, one perfect line at a time. Her tattoo shop in Newark's North Ward is proof that skill and stubbornness can build something real. When the Iron Jackals' president walks in demanding she partner with his club, she tells him exactly where to go.
Then he bends her fingers back until she screams. She's handled men who underestimate her before. She's never met anyone like Thrash. He can't stop moving. She made him want to stay still. Jake "Thrash" Weber joined Creeping Death MC because the brotherhood gave his violence purpose. Combat medic skills and combat addiction-he patches brothers up and puts enemies down with equal intensity. When he walks into his tattoo artist's shop and finds her hands bandaged and fear in her eyes, something cracks open in his chest.
She's in his territory. That makes her his to protect. But protecting Gina isn't enough. Not when she fights back against men twice her size. Not when she stands with his brothers through two assaults without flinching. Not when she looks at the violence and chooses to stay anyway. As the Jackals' empire crumbles under Creeping Death's assault, Thrash discovers that the woman who puts art in his skin is the first thing that's ever made stillness feel like living-and Gina's learning that building alone was never strength.
It was just lonely. In Newark's industrial heart, where refinery flames paint the sky and violence is the only language predators understand, one woman will find her place in a world of leather and chrome-and one dangerous man will finally find his home.
