Slick's Claim - Bayou Serpents MC, #10

He's a damaged oil rig survivor carrying survivor's guilt. She's a widow fighting to save her grandfather's legacy from a predatory loan shark. When debt leverage escalates to arson and attempted murder, their alliance ignites into explosive claiming.

Becca Hebert has spent two years running her grandfather's auto parts shop alone—until a loan shark's fraudulent debt threatens everything she's fought to protect. When Dale Broussard's intimidation campaign escalates from supplier manipulation to arson that nearly kills her, she's forced to accept protection from the most dangerous men in Louisiana.

Matt "Slick" Fontaine is returning to the Bayou Serpents MC after three years of running from survivor's guilt over an oil rig explosion that killed his entire crew. The last thing he expects is a stubborn widow with grease under her fingernails who refuses to quit even when drowning—and who reminds him that surviving means he's allowed to live, not just exist.

From the first roadside truck repair, Slick and Becca are drawn together by shared damage and impossible attraction. She's everything he shouldn't claim—a woman fighting her own battles who doesn't need saving. He's everything she should fear—a man who solves problems with lethal violence instead of legal procedure.

But when Broussard's operation escalates to coordinated assaults on the compound and threats against MC families, Slick and Becca must choose between fighting alone and standing together. Their battle will take them from systematic business destruction to brutal execution, testing both their courage and their growing love.

In the sultry darkness of post-Katrina Louisiana, two people drowning in their own damage will risk everything for justice—and each other.
