Derrick's Claim - Badlands Brotherhood MC, #4

She built her motel from nothing. He'll bury anyone who tries to take it.

Nina Callahan doesn't need a man, a hero, or a rescue. After a lifetime of people letting her down, she clawed her way to independence—one fixed faucet, one cleaned room, one sleepless night at a time. The Prairie Rose Motel is proof she can survive on her own terms. She's not about to let some smuggler in an expensive suit take that from her.

But when she refuses to cooperate, the threats turn deadly.

Dallas "Derrick" Stone knows what it's like to watch everything burn. As Sergeant at Arms of the Badlands Brotherhood MC, he's spent years burying the guilt of men who died in rig explosions while he walked away. He's learned that caring about anyone is just pre-emptive grief—until he walks into a roadside motel and sees a woman with a shotgun behind the counter and fear in her eyes.

Then her fight becomes his war.

When a smuggling operation decides she's an obstacle to be eliminated, Derrick does what he does best: handles the problem with overwhelming force. Now she's under his protection whether she likes it or not, and the explosive attraction between them is impossible to ignore.

But the man who wants her motel won't stop sending killers—and Derrick won't stop putting them in the ground.

In the Badlands, you protect what's yours.

And Nina Callahan has always been his.
