She has a Glock and a zero-tolerance policy. He has surgical hands and a body count. Together, they're unstoppable.
Diane Okafor built her bail bonds business from nothing?one of the only Black women running an operation in the South Bronx. She's spent eight years surviving Rikers as a corrections officer and three more chasing skips through the roughest neighborhoods in the city. When four armed men corner her in her own office, Diane sends one out missing an eye and opens for business the next morning.
Then the real retaliation comes.
Slab didn't become the Empire Kings' most dangerous enforcer by being gentle. A Navy combat medic who learned that healing was a lie, he's spent years turning his knowledge of anatomy into a weapon. When a drug operation starts muscling into Kings territory, Slab volunteers for the job.
What he doesn't expect is her.
Diane Okafor with her Glock in the drawer and her backbone made of steel. Diane who spots a tail before he does. Diane who looks at his thousand-yard stare and doesn't flinch?because she's seen worse, and she's still standing.
She's supposed to be a job. Protection detail for a woman caught in someone else's war.
But when Slab sees the bruises they left on her, something breaks loose inside him. Because Diane isn't just under his protection anymore.
She's becoming his obsession.
As the drug lord's attacks escalate from threats to ambush to all-out war, Slab will have to embrace both halves of himself?the healer and the killer?to protect the woman who sees them as one. And Diane will have to decide if she's ready to claim a man whose hands deal death and tenderness in equal measure.
In the South Bronx, love is earned in blood. Trust is built in fire. And when a medic finds his match, he'll burn down anyone who threatens her.
Slab's Obsession is the fifth standalone MC romance in the Empire Kings MC Series. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
