Crown's Tribute

She had a bat. He had an army. Together, they're unstoppable. Elena Vega has spent twelve years protecting her grandmother's legacy—a Hell's Kitchen laundromat that's survived everything the city could throw at it. But when a Bronx crime boss decides her building is standing in the way of his development deal, Elena finds herself facing down armed thugs with nothing but a baseball bat and stubborn determination. Then he walks through her door. Crown didn't become president of the Empire Kings MC by playing nice. He built his kingdom from the ashes of everything he'd lost, and he'll burn down anyone who threatens what's his. When Marchetti's soldiers push into Kings territory, Crown sees a strategic opportunity. What he doesn't expect is her. Elena Vega with her sharp tongue and sharper backbone. Elena who breaks a man's wrist before Crown can reach her. Elena who looks at him like she's deciding whether he's the next threat—and isn't afraid either way. She's not supposed to matter. She's just a woman caught in a territorial war. But when Crown claims her as his to protect, the line between strategy and obsession disappears. Because Elena isn't just under his protection anymore. She's becoming his everything. As Marchetti's attacks escalate from threats to arson to all-out war, Crown will have to choose: his kingdom or his heart. But Elena isn't asking him to choose. She's standing beside him, bat in hand, ready to fight for both. In Hell's Kitchen, love is brutal. Loyalty is earned in blood. And when a king finds his queen, nothing will stop him from claiming her. Crown's Tribute is the first standalone MC romance in the Empire Kings MC Series. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
