Flood's Reckoning

She said no three times. He made sure she'd never have to say it again.

Nikki Tran has built her life from a food truck, her grandmother's recipes, and sheer stubbornness. She doesn't need rescuing, doesn't want complications, and definitely doesn't have time for the quiet, dangerous biker who's been ordering her lemongrass chicken every Tuesday for three months.

Then a stolen goods ring decides her truck would make the perfect mobile drop point—and when she refuses, they stop asking politely.

Flood has been the Death Valley Demons' warlord long enough to know when a situation is about to go sideways. He's also spent three months riding out to that construction site, eating Nikki's cooking, and riding away again because a woman who works that hard deserves better than a man who builds violence in hidden places.

But when he finds three men pinning her against her own truck—and sees the bruises they've already left—the flood breaks.

Now Nikki's caught in the middle of a war between her independence and a man who claims her with every meal he guards, every enemy he buries, every piece of her shattered kitchen he rebuilds with his own hands. She should run from what he is. Instead, she's falling for the only person who ever waited for her to finish working before asking for anything.

In the Death Valley desert, the heat kills everything that isn't strong enough to survive it. But Nikki was built to last—and Flood will drown anyone who tries to prove otherwise.

Flood's Reckoning is Book 6 in the Death Valley Demons MC series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
