Derrick's Claim

She built her motel from nothing. Hell bury anyone who tries to take it.

Nina Callahan doesnt need a man, a hero, or a rescue. After a lifetime of people letting her down, she clawed her way to independence—one fixed faucet, one cleaned room, one sleepless night at a time. The Prairie Rose Motel is proof she can survive on her own terms. Shes not about to let some smuggler in an expensive suit take that from her.

But when she refuses to cooperate, the threats turn deadly.

Dallas "Derrick" Stone knows what its like to watch everything burn. As Sergeant at Arms of the Badlands Brotherhood MC, hes spent years burying the guilt of men who died in rig explosions while he walked away. Hes learned that caring about anyone is just pre-emptive grief—until he walks into a roadside motel and sees a woman with a shotgun behind the counter and fear in her eyes.

Then her fight becomes his war.

When a smuggling operation decides shes an obstacle to be eliminated, Derrick does what he does best: handles the problem with overwhelming force. Now shes under his protection whether she likes it or not, and the explosive attraction between them is impossible to ignore.

But the man who wants her motel wont stop sending killers—and Derrick wont stop putting them in the ground.

In the Badlands, you protect whats yours.

And Nina Callahan has always been his.
