Badger

She handed over an envelope every Friday morning. Then a stocky biker in her corner booth told her the debt was cancelled — and the certainty in his voice was the first thing she'd believed in three months. Maggie Soren built Pinecone Coffee from nothing — five years of early mornings, loyal regulars, and a counter she knows by heart. Now a loan shark's collector is bleeding her dry for a debt her brother skipped town on, and last Friday he broke her wrist to make a point. Badger doesn't do slow. And he doesn't let anyone break what's his. When the Renegades' enforcer discovers that an illegal lending operation is squeezing businesses on club territory, he puts Maggie under his protection — and her intelligence becomes the weapon that maps the entire network. But Maggie isn't a woman who hides behind someone else's fists. She's the kind who holds the door with a baseball bat and a dented portafilter. Now he's fighting a war against a loan shark with eighteen men and no mercy, and falling for a barista whose backbone is stronger than his temper — which is saying something, because Badger's temper has been running hot since the day his best friend died ten minutes away. As the bodies drop and the threat closes in on everything she's built, they'll have to decide whether a man who always arrives first and a woman who never closes can build something worth fighting for — together. Badger is a full-length, standalone MC romance with a possessive alpha hero, a heroine with backbone for days, explosive action, and steamy scenes. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
