He hasn’t slept in fifteen years. She’s the only thing that makes him want to stay awake.
Nina Cavanaugh has been running her father’s 24-hour diner since a heart attack took him behind the counter he built with his own hands.
Two years of graveyard shifts, cold coffee, and feeding every insomniac on the Charlestown waterfront—and she’ll be damned if some cargo thief is going to take it from her, no matter how many men he sends to sit in her booths and bleed her dry.
Colin "Grave" Tierney hasn’t slept right since Afghanistan.
As the Beantown Bastards MC’s night shift—surveillance, late runs, the jobs that need doing at 3 AM—he’s stopped pretending he’ll ever be anything else.
And the moment a waterfront thug puts hands on the woman who’s been pouring his coffee for months without asking a single question, she becomes something more than a waitress.
She becomes his.
She doesn’t need a biker fighting her battles. He’s not waiting for an invitation.
When Nina puts a shotgun blast through the man who came to burn her father’s legacy, she proves she’s no victim. She’s a Cavanaugh. And Grave wants her wearing his patch almost as much as he wants her in his bed.
But the man behind the occupation isn’t finished. He’s spent twenty years bleeding the waterfront, and one stubborn woman with a coffee pot isn’t going to stop him. Now Grave has to do what he does best—own the dark, protect what’s his, and put problems in the ground.
Good thing he’s never needed sleep to get the job done.
GRAVE’S RETALIATION is a full-length standalone MC romance with a possessive alpha hero, a heroine with serious backbone, and an HEA. No cliffhanger. No cheating. Just Charlestown grit and graveyard shift heat.
