Downwash's Deliverance

She came down from the mountain. He'd been grounded for years.

Tessa Colvin has survived alone at eight thousand feet since her grandfather died. Third-generation owner of Colvin Outfitters, she's built her life around wilderness that doesn't ask questions and solitude that can't disappoint. When a cartel-connected poaching operation burns her shed and nails a death threat to her door, she does what Colvin women have always done—she hikes down the mountain to find her own backup.

Downwash hasn't stopped moving since the Army took his wings. The former Apache pilot joined Battle Born MC because a motorcycle on a mountain highway is the closest thing to flying he's got left. But when a woman with a rifle walks into a veteran bar and tells a room full of outlaws her problem is their problem, something shifts. She's in his territory. That makes her his to protect.

Whether she needs saving or not.

What starts as protection becomes possession. Every firefight. Every night on a cold rooftop staring at stars. Every moment she proves she's not the kind of woman who backs down. Tessa doesn't need a man to fight her battles—she needs one willing to stand beside her. And Downwash hasn't let anyone ground him in years.

But the men who want her mountain won't stop until she's dead or destroyed. And Downwash won't stop until every last one of them pays in blood.
