Carson

She built something worth fighting for. He'll burn the world to make sure she keeps it. Megan Callahan has spent eight years building Iron City Ink into a Carson Street institution—alone, exhausted, and too stubborn to let anyone take what's hers. When a predatory loan shark starts manufacturing violations and sending muscle to drive away her clients, Megan does what South Side women have always done: she stands her ground. Then they threaten to take her building. He's the VP of the Steel City Reapers. She's about to become everything he'll kill to protect. Carson grew up on these streets, watching his neighborhood disappear one stolen business at a time. When he spots the loan shark's crew circling a tattoo shop three blocks from his family's bar, he walks through the door expecting to handle a simple problem. What he finds is a woman with ink on her hands and fire in her eyes. A woman who swings a tattoo machine at armed men instead of running. A woman worth starting a war to protect. She's not looking for a savior. He's not giving her a choice. As the violence escalates and Megan's shop goes up in flames, she discovers that the most dangerous man on Carson Street is also the only one who's ever made her feel like she belongs. But loving Carson means accepting his world—the brotherhood, the brutality, and the claiming that makes her his. Three generations of Callahan women survived the South Side. Now it's his turn to prove he's worth staying for. Carson is a full-length standalone MC romance with a possessive alpha hero, a heroine with backbone, and a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
