Bustout's Stand (Reno Wreckers MC #4)

She kept one honest floor on a highway full of predators. He made sure the highway answered for it.

Carla Espinoza has worked the overnight shift at the Silverline Diner for eleven years — pouring coffee, cooling drunks, and keeping every person on the 395 corridor fed and safe on tips and backbone. She doesn’t need a man, a motorcycle club, or a war.

Then two men walk into her diner at three in the morning and demand she give up the boy she raised — or watch everything she’s built burn.

Carla tells them to take their hands off her.

Bustout — Sergeant at Arms of the Reno Wreckers MC — is sitting in the corner booth when it happens.

The first thing he notices is the woman who cools a room full of truckers with nothing but sass and a coffee pot.

The second thing he notices is the fear she’s hiding under that steady voice, and the name she won’t say.

Sean Halloran runs a cargo-theft operation bleeding the 395 corridor dry, and Carla’s diner sits right in the middle of it. A boy she raised took something Halloran wants back, and Halloran’s collectors won’t stop until she breaks or someone breaks them first.

Bustout doesn’t let people bleed on his highway.

He’ll tear Halloran’s operation apart layer by layer — the collectors, the enforcers, the yards, and the man himself.

And the woman with the coffee pot and the backbone?

She’s not hiding behind him. She’s mapping the enemy’s ground, riding into ambushes at his side, and making the stillest man in the club reach for something he stopped believing he deserved.

She said

my floor

and meant it in her bones. He said

mine

and meant her.

Now the only question is whether they can dismantle a corridor empire before it dismantles them — and whether two people who’ve spent their whole lives taking care of everyone else can finally let someone take care of them.

BUSTOUT’S STAND is a full-length MC romance with a possessive hero, a heroine who doesn’t fold, scorching heat with the door wide open, explosive action, and an HEA that’s earned in blood and coffee. No cliffhanger. No cheating.
