Tempest's Frequency (Crucible Brotherhood MC #10)

She heals everything but herself. He left once and swore never again. When old money tried to burn her life’s work to ash, the brotherhood’s comms specialist made her survival his mission—and then made her his.

Alma Ruiz built Low Country Animal Care from a decade of savings and sheer stubbornness. When the Jessup family decides her clinic sits on land they want, they send men to threaten her, kick her kennels, and give her thirty days to disappear.

Tempest hasn’t stopped proving himself since he walked back through the compound gates. Former Marine communications specialist, the brother who left for a promotion and spent five years learning that rank without brotherhood is an empty frequency. Until a veterinarian with steady hands and a stubborn streak becomes everything worth staying for.

When the threat escalates from intimidation to arson on her life’s work, Tempest claims Alma under his protection. But the real battle isn’t the old money hunting her—it’s the collision between a man still paying down five years of guilt and a woman who’s never let anyone help her carry the weight.

He’ll eliminate every threat between her and her clinic. She’ll stand beside him with a shotgun and a spine of steel.

This is what claiming looks like when a vet and a comms specialist find their frequency.
