Diesel (Windy City Wolves MC #7)

She poured his coffee for six years. He never said a word.

Karen Wisniewski bought her diner with thirty-eight years of tips and a dream. It’s not much—cracked booths, a jukebox that plays the same forty songs, and a graveyard shift that never ends. But it’s hers. The first thing that’s ever been truly hers.

Then a hijacking crew moves into her parking lot, and the man who runs it makes it clear: cooperate or disappear. For four months, she pours coffee and pretends she doesn’t see a thing.

Then he stays past closing.

Diesel spent fifteen years on the highway before the Wolves gave him a patch and a purpose. He’s the easygoing one—rambling stories, big grin, the brother everyone underestimates. But underneath the charm is a man who lost friends to cargo hijackers and never forgave himself for walking away.

Now the woman who’s been serving his coffee for six years is in trouble. And he’s done walking away.

What starts as protection becomes something neither of them expected.Every late-night conversation, every brush of calloused hands across a diner counter, every moment she refuses to break pulls him closer to a woman who’s been fighting alone for far too long.But Dale Berkman has run the I-55 corridor for twelve years, and he doesn’t leave witnesses breathing.

Now Diesel has a choice: finish his coffee and ride home... or burn down a criminal empire to keep the woman who never forgot his order.

For a man who’s spent his life taking the long way around, the answer is simple.

His woman. His highway. His to protect.
