She built her strength from nothing. He'll destroy anyone who tries to break her.

Molly Spencer knows what it means to rebuild. After a career-ending injury shattered everything she thought she was, she clawed her way back?one rep, one member, one eighteen-hour day at a time. Her gym is proof she can stand on her own two feet. She's not about to let some corrupt commissioner take that from her.

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

Jesse "Cards" Dalton has been watching her for three weeks, trying to earn back what he threw away. A reformed gambler who nearly destroyed himself and everyone who trusted him, he came back to the Badlands Brotherhood to prove he's not the man who ran. He should focus on redemption, not the fierce gym owner with the backbone of steel.

Then her enemies become his enemies.

When the commissioner's muscle corners her in her own gym, Cards does what he does best: reads the threat and eliminates it. Now she's 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 building won't stop until he gets what he wants?or until the Brotherhood puts him in the ground.

In the Badlands, you protect what's yours.

And Molly Spencer was his the moment she refused to break.

CARDS' GAMBLE is a standalone MC romance with a reformed hero seeking redemption, a heroine with serious backbone, and a guaranteed HEA. This is Book 11 in the Badlands Brotherhood MC series.
