Gadget's Gamble

She found a hidden compartment full of cash. Now a money-laundering empire wants her dead.

Andi Fitzgerald built her life with her own hands. Seven years in construction, a business she runs alone, a house she's renovating room by room. Foster care taught her nothing lasts unless you build it yourself. When a routine renovation reveals banded hundreds behind a false wall, she walks away. But the men who own that money don't forgive witnesses.

Then her quiet neighbor shows up at 2 AM and says he can help—if she trusts him.

He's spent a year watching her. Now he's done standing in the background.

Jason "Gadget" Carter spent twelve years as an Army combat engineer, opening doors for Ranger operations. Essential but invisible. When he joined Ranger Regiment MC, he found brothers who chose him. But he's never let himself want anything for himself.

Then the stubborn contractor three blocks down gets a target on her back, and every protective instinct roars to life. She's being hunted. And Gadget discovers he's done being background when someone finally makes him feel chosen.

The property flipper has money and enforcers. Gadget has breaching tools and brothers.

Malcolm Price built an empire laundering cash through real estate. The contractor is just another loose end. He doesn't expect combat veterans who answer threats with devastating precision.

When Price's men assault the MC compound, the Rangers respond with violence. And Gadget discovers that protecting Andi isn't club business anymore. It's personal. It's primal. It's the first thing he's ever wanted just for himself.
