Deisel's Road

When predatory lenders target working families through their children's schools, this fierce single mother finds deadly protection in the arms of Steel City's most territorial enforcer. Emily Murphy has spent fourteen years raising her daughter alone while working two jobs to keep them afloat. She's mastered the art of surviving on determination and Irish stubbornness—until Tommy Brennan decides her family's financial desperation makes them perfect targets. What starts as "community assistance" escalates to threats against other mothers. Then Tommy uses the school system to identify vulnerable families. When he kidnaps Allie to force Emily's compliance, she realizes predatory lenders will never stop seeing working families as profit opportunities. Until Diesel intervenes. Ryan "Diesel" O'Brien is Steel City Syndicate's territory boss—a man who protects neighborhoods with the same methodical precision he brings to eliminating threats. When he witnesses Tommy targeting Emily's family, something possessive awakens in the Irish enforcer. She's got backbone. Real backbone. The kind that warns other mothers instead of staying silent. Now Diesel has claimed Emily as his woman, and that makes her predators his problem. Tommy's loan shark operation is about to meet organized resistance. Corporate intimidation is about to face permanent consequences. But when Tommy's desperation drives him to target Allie directly, Emily must choose: trust her protector's methods, or watch her daughter pay the price for having a mother who refused to be silenced. Some women stay quiet to survive. Emily Murphy fights back. Diesel's Road is the third book in the Steel City Syndicate MC series. Guaranteed HEA. No cheating. No cliffhangers.
