Bunker's Brutality

She built her distillery from nothing. He'll fortify it against anyone who tries to take it. Maren Cross poured everything into Cross Creek Distillery—her savings, her sweat, her grandfather's dying wish. Forty acres of North Dakota prairie, a hand-built operation, and water worth more than anything above the surface. She's not about to let some corporation poison her land and buy it out from under her. But when she refuses to sell, the pressure turns deadly. Nate "e;Bunker"e; Colvard spent three tours as a combat engineer, building fortifications that saved lives and demolishing threats that ended them. Now he's an enforcer with the Badlands Brotherhood MC, still doing what he does best: turning any ground he stands on into the last place his enemies want to be. He never expected to find something worth defending on a burned-out distillery property. Then he watched her document her own destruction instead of running from it. When corporate muscle shows up to intimidate her into selling, Bunker does what comes naturally: positions himself between her and everything that wants to break her. Now she's under Brotherhood protection, and the chemistry between them burns hotter than the barn they torched. But the man poisoning her aquifer won't stop until he owns what's underneath her land—or until the Brotherhood puts him in the ground. In the Badlands, you protect what's yours. And Maren Cross was his from the moment he saw her refuse to break. BUNKER'S BRUTALITY is a standalone MC romance with a fortification-obsessed hero who's learning that walls can let people in, a fierce heroine armed with spreadsheets and a shotgun, and a guaranteed HEA. This is Book 19 in the Badlands Brotherhood MC series.
