Crew's Claim (Gravel Kings, #1)

I’m Crew Malone, president of the Gravel Kings MC, and I’ve buried more bodies than I have regrets.

At forty-five, I rule this Pacific Northwest territory with iron fists and a loaded Glock—leather cuts, roaring Harleys, and zero room for weakness.

Women? They’re a distraction I can’t afford.

Not after Mia.

Not with rival Reapers circling like vultures, ready to paint our streets red.

Then she walks into my bar. Sunshine Carter—twenty-three, all curves and cinnamon rolls, with a smile that could melt the frost off my black heart. She’s leasing the shop next door, baking her way into a life she doesn’t belong in.

Too sweet. Too young. Too fucking perfect.

I tell her to run. She flips her hair and offers me pastries instead. One drive-by shooting later, and she’s under my protection—whether she likes it or not. Bullets fly, graffiti scars her bakery door with threats, and every instinct screams to claim her.

Hard. Raw. Mine.

But ghosts from my past claw at me, whispering I’ll destroy her like I did the last one. And when the Reapers pull her into their hellhole trap, I unleash the monster she’s already tamed.

She’s my sunshine in this endless rain. My redemption. My everything. I’ll burn the world for her—but I'm not sure I can keep her safe from the darkness I drag in my wake.

Crew's Claim is an age-gap MC bite-sized romance that delivers possessive alpha heat, high-stakes biker drama, and a hard-won HEA. No cheating, no cliffhanger. 1-click if you crave grumpy biker prezzes claiming their sunshine heroines.
