Hammer's Legacy

When a predatory professor mistakes "no" for negotiation, this retail worker discovers that some lessons require permanent solutions—and the dangerous man who teaches them.

Casey McGuire is twenty-five, working retail, and finally chasing the GED that should have been hers seven years ago. She's mastered the art of studying during break time and surviving on determination—until Professor David Collins decides her education comes with strings attached.

What starts as inappropriate comments escalates to grade manipulation. Then Collins uses his institutional authority as a weapon. When he begins stalking Casey's workplace and threatening her academic future, she realizes predatory men will never stop targeting women who can't fight back.

Until Hammer intervenes.

Thomas "Hammer" Burke is Steel City Syndicate's Prospect Coordinator—a man who protects his community with the same fierce loyalty he brings to eliminating threats. When he witnesses Collins targeting Casey, something possessive awakens in the enforcer who values education and legitimate dreams.

She's got backbone. Real backbone. The kind that studies harder when someone tries to tear her down.

Now Hammer has claimed Casey as his woman, and that makes her stalker his problem. Collins's harassment is about to meet organized resistance. Academic authority is about to face permanent consequences.

But when Collins's desperation drives him to one final assault in an empty parking lot, Casey must choose: hide behind her protector's violence, or prove she's learned to eliminate threats herself.

Some women accept victimhood.

Casey McGuire fights back.
