Canal's Commitment

Sylvie Patin inherited a dead man's tools and taught herself to deserve them. Four years running the last saddle shop in the parish, earning respect off the quality of her hands and nothing else — until a chop crew set up behind her fence, ran angle grinders through her walls at 2 a.m., and threw her uncle's tools in the dirt to teach her to look away.

She's already tried the fence line. The warning. Telling them to their faces. When the polite options run out, Sylvie doesn't quit.

She escalates.

Canal has bled for the Bourbon Street Devils since the day the docks taught him that nobody protects working men but working men. He doesn't do favors for civilians. But the leatherworker whose backyard just filled up with stolen product won't be rescued, won't be handled, and won't leave her bench for anyone — she'd rather lose the shop clean than owe a man a leash.

She's exactly the kind of trouble a dangerous man can't put down.

Mack Hebert wants her silence. Canal wants her. And when the crew burns the one thing she can't replace, the most feared club in New Orleans goes to war — one torched lot at a time.

He collects every debt in full, with patience and his bare hands. She claims her own ground with a beveling knife and a spine of steel. Together they're about to show a man who takes things apart for a living what happens when he reaches into the wrong woman's backyard.

Book 8 in the Bourbon Street Devils MC Romance series. HEA guaranteed.
