Hazard's Watch

When loan sharks threaten her business, she needs the one biker who never stops protecting what's his.Elena Ruiz spent two years building Pampered Paws Mobile Grooming from nothing—servicing dogs across Philadelphia neighborhoods, proving she could succeed alone after family who only took advantage. But when her brother's $40,000 gambling debt brings Volpe loan sharks to her door with threats to break her fingers and destroy everything she owns, the message is clear: pay or lose everything.The cops won't help with illegal debts. Lawyers cost money she doesn't have. Women who defied the Volpes disappeared.She needs someone who doesn't negotiate with predators.Hazard lost his sister to street violence while protecting the wrong people for a paycheck. Ten years bouncing Philadelphia's toughest clubs taught him to read threats and eliminate problems—but it didn't save the family that mattered. Now he's Liberty City MC's enforcer, protecting working neighborhoods the way no one protected his sister—trying to never fail the people who matter again.When Hazard learns loan sharks threatened the woman who grooms the compound's pit bull, he recognizes more than another street threat—he sees a woman with backbone refusing to quit when most would run. She's his from that first moment.But the Volpes don't quit when intimidation fails. They escalate with resources from an empire that makes them believe they are invincible.Liberty City doesn't care what they believe.Elena proves herself fighting beside them, earning respect through courage. She's not just Hazard's woman—she's the brotherhood's newest old lady, grooming dogs by day and living in a compound by night.This war ends one way: with Volpe blood on Hazard's hands and Elena claimed permanently.
