She saves lives in the sky. He eliminates threats on the ground. Together, they're about to wage war against an enemy that targets children.
Captain Riley Carlyle is an emergency medical pilot with nerves of steel and a mission that matters?saving lives that others have given up on. When her helicopter keeps crossing paths with suspicious ground activity in the Arizona desert, she discovers she's not the only one hunting the drug suppliers who are systematically poisoning Native American communities.
Hawk is the Desert Wolves MC's intelligence specialist, a former Air Force reconnaissance expert who tracks enemies with lethal precision. He's spent months building surveillance on a trafficking network that uses children as weapons of psychological warfare. What he doesn't expect is a fearless pilot who refuses to back down when corrupt deputies try to intimidate her?or the explosive attraction that ignites the moment they stop working against each other and start working together.
When drug suppliers escalate to military assault, the gloves come off completely.
Riley's medical expertise reveals the true scope of systematic community targeting while Hawk's tactical coordination triggers federal intervention against corruption networks. But as their partnership evolves from territorial conflict to claimed devotion, the enemies they're hunting decide that eliminating the medical interference and intelligence threats requires total warfare.
Racing across the desert with federal air support and Desert Wolves brotherhood backing their every move, Riley discovers that being claimed by a dangerous man means being protected by someone who'll burn down anyone who threatens what's his. Hawk's pack becomes her family. His mission becomes her purpose. His lethal world becomes exactly where she belongs.
From territorial conflict to explosive claiming. From medical emergency to tactical warfare. From partners to pack.
But when their enemies target tribal leadership and federal prosecution exposes multi-state corruption, Riley and Hawk must coordinate community protection that spans generations. Either way, the Desert Wolves protect their own?and now Riley is pack.
Even if it means regional war.
