Heinz

She was trapped. He was never supposed to care.

Amber has spent four months stitching fighting dogs back together in basements and warehouses—alone, terrified, and too deep to get out. When the men who control her decide she knows too much, they come to the clinic to make her disappear.

Then a prospect with a German Shepherd walks through the door.

He's the newest man in the Steel City Reapers. She's about to become the reason he earns his patch.

Heinz joined the MC with nothing but discipline and hunger—a North Side kid with Marine hands and something to prove. When the vet tech who treated his dog breaks down and tells him about a dog fighting ring terrorizing the neighborhood, he doesn't pass it up the chain.

He comes back for her. With brothers. Through the front window.

She's not a damsel. He's not asking her to be.

As a ruthless pit boss retaliates—burning her clinic, assaulting the compound, killing the animals she swore to protect—Amber discovers that the young prospect who rescued her is also the man willing to dismantle an empire to keep her safe. But claiming Heinz means choosing his world—the brotherhood, the violence, and the possession that makes her his.

She spent four months unable to save anything that mattered.

Now she's building something no one will ever burn down again.
