Rook's Defiance

Annie Boudreaux built her studio from nothing. A shrimper's daughter from Marrero with a secondhand camera, she turned a rented room above a po'boy shop into the one place working families could hang on their walls with pride. Then she photographed the wrong back room — and the man who runs Central City decided a woman with a camera was a loose end.

She's already handed over the cards. Watched her car burn. When cooperating doesn't buy her anything, Annie doesn't run.

She goes looking for the people who actually answer.

Rook has been the Bourbon Street Devils' quietest weapon since a hit-and-run and a system that shrugged taught him the rules are a trap. He reads engines and enemies the same way — patient, three moves ahead, hunting the flaw before it fails. He doesn't do civilians. But the photographer who won't be handled, won't be scared off, and sees straight through him is the one problem his diagnostic brain can't solve.

She proves herself with a spine of steel and a shutter finger that never shakes. He claims what's his with lethal patience and a plan the enemy never sees coming.

Darnell Price wants Annie erased. Rook wants her witnessed, wanted, and permanent. And when Price torches everything she's built, the most feared club in New Orleans takes a fifteen-block kingdom apart one dark corner at a time.

He finishes what the world won't. She makes sure it can't be undone. Together they're about to teach a man who's never lost a street war what happens when he reaches for what belongs to a Devil.

Book 19 in the Bourbon Street Devils MC Romance series. HEA guaranteed.
