Gator's Retaliation

Shelby DuVal fights for a living — MMA three mornings a week, aggressive dogs every afternoon at the clinic where she takes the cases nobody else will touch. Raised by a brother who swore no sister of his would ever be helpless, she's spent twelve years learning that a woman who can be moved eventually gets moved somewhere she doesn't want to go. So when a bar owner grabs her wrist and won't take no, she breaks the hold and walks out.

She should have looked back.

Leon Guillory owns half the dive bars in Metairie and the loan-sharking operation running behind them. A woman telling him no in his own bar is a debt — and Leon collects. Slashed tires. Men in the street. And when that isn't enough, a cruelty aimed at the things she loves most.

Gator is the youngest patched Devil in the club, a dead enforcer's son still trying to prove he's worth the name he inherited. When Shelby's problem lands at the compound, he asks to run the job himself — the first operation that's ever been his to win or lose. What he doesn't expect is a woman who doesn't want rescuing, calls him on his every bluff, and puts him on the ground when he gets cocky.

She's not looking for a hero. He's not sure he's a man yet. But Leon's crew is closing in, the body count is climbing, and the Bourbon Street Devils don't solve problems with lawyers.

He claims what's his with patience and blood. She claims her own ground with a spine of steel and refuses to be anyone's to save. Together they're going to teach a man in a gold chain exactly what it costs to reach into the wrong woman's life.

Book 17 in the Bourbon Street Devils MC Romance series. HEA guaranteed.
