Rail

She stitches the alignment together. He'll cut anyone who tries to unravel it.

Marisol Ortega has spent years building her seamstress shop on Tulsa's alignment strip into the place where every old lady, every club wife, and half the west side comes to get fitted. When a cargo-theft operation starts swallowing businesses on her block, she doesn't run. She picks up her seam ripper and starts pulling at the thread herself.

She doesn't need a protector. But one rides in anyway.

Rail — freshly patched prospect of the Mother Road Renegades MC — has been proving himself to the club for months. When the cargo operation targets Marisol's shop and the strip she holds together, the quiet biker who built his reputation on loyalty decides this woman, this block, and this war are the hill he'll die on.

Marisol has rules. She always has rules. She'll mend his cuts, feed his brothers, and stand at the workbench beside him — but she won't be someone's old lady in name only, and she won't let anyone fight her war while she hides behind bolts of fabric. Not the men circling her strip, and not the man who's claiming her one possessive stitch at a time.

As the bodies drop and the threat tightens around everything she's built, Rail and Marisol discover that the most dangerous thing on the alignment isn't the crew trying to take the strip. It's what happens when a woman who holds everything together meets a man who's ready to tear everything apart to keep her.
