She told them to go to hell. He made sure they got there. Nina Castillo is the second-generation owner of La Rosa Cantina - a Southtown bar her mother built from a condemned storefront, a bat behind the register, and pure stubbornness. She's been pouring drinks and handling trouble since she was old enough to reach the taps. Then a theft ring decides her back room is their new warehouse. Hijacked shipments. A liquor license under review. Scorch marks on the wall her mother painted thirty-five years ago. Wade Escamilla has been squeezing South Side businesses into compliance for years, and he's never heard no from someone who meant it. Nina's not planning to break - but she's running out of fights she can win alone. Jackal is the Warlord of the Ghosts of the Alamo MC, and La Rosa is sacred ground - the bar where his brother had his quinceañera, where Jackal sat for a week after the funeral and nobody asked him to leave. When he finds burn marks on the wall and a woman holding a baseball bat against six men, the grin disappears and the planning starts. Nina doesn't want a rescuer. She wants someone who'll hand her the bat and stand beside her while she swings it. What she gets is a loud, dangerous tactician who looks at her bar like it's holy ground and looks at her like she's something he intends to keep. When Escamilla burns her mother's legacy to ash, Nina and Jackal will tear his operation apart - with fists, firepower, and a love built on tequila and trust that neither of them saw coming. Jackal's Justice is Book 5 in the Ghosts of the Alamo MC series. Full-length MC romance. Complete standalone with a guaranteed HEA.
