Brawler's Rampage

He showed up every morning for four years. She memorized his order. Neither of them called it what it was.

Josie Tanner left a soul-crushing corporate job to build Mockingbird Coffee — a Southtown shop where the beans are locally roasted, the pastries are made from scratch, and every regular's name gets remembered. Four years of seventy-hour weeks and razor-thin margins, and it's finally hers. Every cup matters. Every morning matters.

Then an underground fighting operation decides her back room is their next venue.

Sugar in her espresso machine. Blood smeared across her counter. Fighters sitting in her booth during business hours, watching her work, driving off her customers one by one. The man running the circuit has money, muscle, and a crew that doesn't take no for an answer. Josie said no anyway.

Brawler is the Ghosts of the Alamo MC's enforcer — a former lockup guard built like a cage fighter, with a broken cheekbone that healed wrong and hands that have ended more arguments than he can count. He's been drinking Josie's coffee every morning for four years, same booth, same order, and he's never once told her she's the best part of his day.

Josie doesn't need a bodyguard. She needs a man who shows up — someone who sits in the booth and reads the room and makes her shop feel safe just by being in it. What she gets is an unsmiling bruiser who kills three men for touching her counter and builds her a pastry case with his bare hands.

When the fight circuit comes for everything she's built, Brawler will burn the operation to the ground — with fists, with brothers, and with a love that started over black coffee and grew into something neither of them can walk away from.

Brawler's Rampage is Book 14 in the Ghosts of the Alamo MC series. Full-length MC romance. Complete standalone with a guaranteed HEA.
