Dagger's Cut

When CPA Lily Tyler discovers her Miami employer is using her accounting business to launder millions in drug money, she thinks testifying to authorities will set her free—until cartel enforcer Carlos Mendoza makes it clear that witnesses who know too much don't get to walk away alive. Six months of running from professional killers has left her exhausted, broke, and desperate when she stumbles into a marine repair shop in the Outer Banks. But the quiet man reviewing invoices with deadly focus isn't just another small-town businessman—he's Savage Tide MC's Sergeant at Arms, and he's got zero tolerance for predators hunting innocent women in his territory. Dagger doesn't believe in letting threats survive long enough to strike twice. The former Navy diver has turned elimination into an art form, but the beautiful fugitive with fake ID and real terror in her eyes presents a different kind of challenge. She's not looking for a white knight—she's looking for a partner dangerous enough to end her nightmare permanently. She's got the financial intelligence to destroy a criminal empire. He's got the tactical skills to make problems disappear without a trace. But a drug kingpin with unlimited resources won't stop hunting until his loose end is eliminated, and the price of freedom might be everything they're building together. Some threats require permanent solutions. Some claiming is worth any amount of violence. And some love stories can only be written in blood and brotherhood by a woman brave enough to trust her life to a killer and a warrior willing to burn the world down to keep her safe.
