Hex's Heart

Elise Darbonne built her coffee shop one 5 a.m. at a time. Twelve years of other people's mornings, six years of her own lease, and a Bywater block that trusts her to keep the lights on. Then old-money royalty decided her corner was worth more as a condo — and sent men to pin her in her own alley until she signed.

She's already tried the offer. The lawyer. The cops in Fontenot's pocket. When the polite options run out, Elise doesn't fold.

She reaches out.

Hex has planned every war the Bourbon Street Devils have won. Terrifyingly calm, precise to the gram, he replaced everything soft in himself with everything lethal the day he came home to a grave. He doesn't touch anyone. He doesn't want anyone. But the coffee shop owner who keeps the math and won't be handled walks straight past his guard.

Fontenot wants her building. Hex wants her. And when a developer's contractors bring a war into Devils territory, the coldest man in New Orleans burns their whole operation down — one dead threat at a time.

He claims ground with patience and blood. She claims hers with a level stare and a spine of steel.

Book 7 in the Bourbon Street Devils MC Romance series. HEA guaranteed.
