Slab's Retaliation

She built her legacy from nothing. He'll destroy anyone who tries to take it.

Ivy Thornton poured everything into Thornton Tackle & Bait—seven years of brutal winters, eighteen-hour days, and the techniques her grandfather taught her before he died. That shop is proof she survived when the world tried to break her. She's not about to let some drug runner with boats and bad intentions take that from her.

But when she refuses to stay silent, the threats turn deadly.

Garrett "Slab" Nolan spent twenty years pouring concrete, building foundations for other people while his own life stayed empty. Now he's an enforcer with the Badlands Brotherhood MC, using the patience that kept crews alive to protect what matters. He never expected to find something worth building in a tackle shop on Lake Sakakawea.

Then he saw her face down predators alone.

When drug runners corner her in her own shop, Slab does what comes naturally: puts six men on the ground and takes what's his. Now she's under his protection whether she likes it or not, and the explosive attraction between them is impossible to ignore.

But the man who wants her silence won't stop until he gets what he wants—or until the Brotherhood puts him in the ground.

In the Badlands, you protect what's yours.

And Ivy Thornton was his from the moment she refused to break.

SLAB'S RETALIATION is a standalone MC romance with a patient hero learning to build something for himself, a fierce heroine with serious backbone, and a guaranteed HEA. This is Book 18 in the Badlands Brotherhood MC series.
