Wrench's Ultimatum

He keeps every bike in the club running and knows how to make an engine failure look like an accident. She's been fighting to save her father's garage from a chop shop king who destroys what he can't control. When his operation marks her for elimination, only an outlaw mechanic can deliver the brutal justice honest people deserve.

Rebecca Hart built her reputation with grease-stained hands and stubborn pride. Three years running her father's garage after his death taught her that being a woman in this business means being twice as good and ten times as tough. When Dale Pickett's chop shop empire starts squeezing independents—burning shops, breaking bones, making owners disappear—she tells his nephew to get the hell out. Now she's got a target on her back and nowhere to run.

Grant "Wrench" Foster is the Crimson Kings' master mechanic—a quiet man who speaks more to engines than people and carries cold fury toward anyone who destroys honest work through dirty tactics. He watched his mentor die under a sabotaged lift while corporate predators circled. When the Picketts threaten a woman fighting alone to save her legacy, Wrench volunteers for the job. One look at Becca swinging a .38 at four attackers, and he knows—she's his.

But claiming the fierce mechanic means war with a chop shop operation that's swallowed three counties—corrupt deputies, professional muscle, and a crime boss who's made problems disappear for twenty years. Wrench doesn't care. He'll bury every Pickett in Alabama red clay before letting anyone touch his woman.

Becca never wanted an outlaw's protection. But when Wrench's possessive claiming makes her feel powerful instead of cornered, when his brutal violence eliminates the men who threatened her life, when she fights beside his brotherhood and kills to protect what's hers—she chooses the dangerous mechanic over standing alone.

Together they'll defend the compound against overwhelming force, hunt the Picketts through their own territory, and prove that some predators picked the wrong prey.

He'll keep her safe with patient hands and explosive violence. She'll stand beside him with a socket wrench and fire in her eyes. Some claiming is forged in motor oil and sealed in blood.
