Slag's Retaliation

She kept their secrets in the wash. He made sure she survived to tell.

Jolene Pruitt has spent two years running her mother's laundromat on sweat, stubbornness, and sixteen-hour days. She doesn't complain, doesn't cut corners, and doesn't ask questions about the stains—until a bag of bloody clothes shows up in her overnight drop and the men who left it make clear she'll clean their evidence or become some herself.

When she calls the cops, nobody comes. When she fights back, they hold her hand to a dryer vent and count to ten.

Slag has been hauling the Death Valley Demons' filthy work gear to Jolene's shop for three years. She never overcharged, never asked questions, and never flinched at what came through her door. But when he walks in and finds two enforcers watching her load a washer full of someone else's blood—and sees the burn blistered across her palm—the laundry run turns into a war.

Now Jolene's hiding in an outlaw compound, her shop destroyed, her life reduced to what fits in one suitcase. The man who rescued her claims her with every look, every touch, every body he buries to keep her safe. She should be afraid of what he does in the dark. Instead, she's falling for the only person who's ever treated her invisible work like it mattered.

In the Death Valley desert, nobody cleans up their own messes. But Slag does—and God help the men who made Jolene part of theirs.

Slag's Retaliation is Book 12 in the Death Valley Demons MC series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
