Hook's Protection

She's been washing his jeans for sixteen years. He never noticed her hands until they were covered in her grandmother's blood. Molly Carlisle runs the last holdout laundromat in Red Hook — fifty years of machines, neighborhood gossip, and a grandmother who taught half the borough how to fold a fitted sheet. None of it prepared her for the night two men in expensive suits shoved her eighty-three-year-old grandmother down the stairs — and the biker who's been her customer since he was twenty showed up at the hospital before anyone else. He's the enforcer of the Brooklyn Brawlers MC. RED HOOK tattooed across his knuckles. A longshoreman's son who buried his father after the docks killed everything the old man ever was. When a developer's consortium targets Molly's block for a luxury marina, Hook makes it club business. Not because it's strategic. Because the woman who sorts laundry with steady hands while her world burns down is worth going to war for. Now the whole operation is closing in. The property manager with the permanent smile. The ex-military security chief. The developer's cruel, MBA-educated son. One by one, they're going to learn what happens when you target a woman who belongs to a man who's been holding the waterfront his entire life. And Molly? She's going to learn that the blunt, profane enforcer who can't make coffee to save his life will dismantle a billion-dollar empire before he lets anyone touch what's his. But first, she'll have to teach him something no one else ever could. How to stop fighting alone. HOOK'S PROTECTION is book 8 in the Brooklyn Brawlers MC series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
