Whiskey Claws

October 7th, 1976. The night Maya Rivera's world falls apart. Stood up by her boyfriend, who's in bed with her best friend instead, Maya finds herself heartbroken, aimless, and wandering the midnight streets of Manhattan. Alone. Vulnerable. With nothing left to lose. One wrong turn leads her into a smoky dive bar on the Lower East Side. The kind of place good girls don't go. The kind of place where trouble waits in every shadow.
Desperate to drown her pain, Maya orders a whiskey. and finds herself caught between two leering bikers. Then Jacky steps in. Jacky Campbell, the hard-edged, leather-jacketed bartender who owns the place, and who carries more than one dangerous secret behind her steel-blue eyes. A woman who can fight like hell, drink like a devil, and stir something in Maya that she never expected. But Jacky's world is darker than Maya realizes.
A world of werewolves, corruption, and blood debts that don't stay buried. And when crooked cops and violent bikers close in, Maya must decide: run from the shadows, or embrace them. Because the night Maya walked into that bar was more than heartbreak, it was the beginning of a transformation that would change her forever. A love story forged in neon, whiskey, and moonlight.
