Havoc's Destruction

A crime boss demanded payment. She refused. A dangerous biker made her his.

Rachel Kowalski has spent seven years fighting alone. Running her grandmother's Polish bakery in Elizabeth, she's the keeper of recipes that survived the war—and the only business owner who won't pay Carl Dunne, the dock boss who's been bleeding the neighborhood for thirty years.

When Dunne's enforcers corner her behind the bakery and leave her with cracked ribs and a two-thousand-dollar demand, Rachel refuses to break. She's handled worse. She's survived worse.

She's never met anyone like Havoc.

He was built for destruction. She made him want to build.

Patrick "Havoc" Kovac is Creeping Death MC's Sergeant at Arms—the brother you call when problems need to end fast and final. When he walks into a bakery with a boarded window and finds a woman moving through pain like it's nothing, something shifts. She's in his territory. That makes her his problem.

But Rachel Kowalski isn't a problem. She's everything.

As Dunne's empire crumbles under Creeping Death's assault, Havoc discovers that protecting Rachel isn't enough. He wants to claim her—in front of his brothers, in front of the whole damn neighborhood. And Rachel's learning that the man who kills like breathing might be the only peace she's ever known.

In Newark's industrial shadow, where refinery flames paint the sky and violence is the only language predators understand, one woman will find her family in a world of leather and chrome—and one dangerous man will finally find something worth being still for.
