Crash's Brutality (Steel Sentinels MC #37)

She organized a block to fight a developer who thought money bought everything. He walked in looking for a mission and found something worth protecting.

When Grace Ellison refused to sell her mother’s bookstore to Cormac Walsh, she knew there would be consequences. She didn’t expect threatening notes, men following her home, and an attack in her own stockroom. After organizing eleven other business owners to resist Walsh’s buyout, she’s become the face of the resistance—and his primary target. The cops can’t help. The system has failed. And the developer’s patience has run out.

Crash joined the Steel Sentinels carrying restless energy that peacetime couldn’t cure.Three tours as a Marine taught him to move fast and hit hard, but civilian life feels like drowning without a mission to drive him.When a woman walks into The Fortress alone, hands shaking but spine straight, demanding help against a man who’s terrorizing her block, Crash recognizes something worth all that violent intensity.Protecting her feels like the first thing that’s made sense since he took off the uniform.

As Walsh’s campaign escalates from intimidation to full compound assault, Grace discovers that the coiled-spring biker assigned to protect her isn’t just dangerous—he’s the first person who made her feel like she didn’t have to fight alone. And Crash learns that the stubborn bookstore owner who refused to break might be the mission he’s been searching for all along.

With her block under siege and a developer willing to kill to get what he wants, they’ll prove that a woman with backbone and a man who finally found his purpose are unstoppable together. And when the dust settles, Walsh will learn exactly what it costs to threaten something a Sentinel has claimed.
