Worm's Trial

When Romanian car thieves want her garage as a chop shop front and threaten to burn her father's legacy, a mechanic finds protection in a prospect desperate to prove he's worthy of the brotherhood he needs. Tiffany Rose spent three years building on thirty years of her father's honest work—Rose Automotive, where quality craftsmanship means something. But when Andrei Popescu's car theft operation decides her reputation makes the perfect cover for stolen vehicles, cooperation isn't optional. Within hours, enforcers steal customer cars. A message in broken tools and Romanian threats: YOUR FAMILY BUSINESS CAN BURN AS EASILY AS IT WAS BUILT. Then men arrive to drag her to Popescu personally. The cops won't help. Garages that refuse Popescu's "partnership" disappear. Women who embarrass his enforcers don't survive long enough to reopen. She needs someone who eliminates threats before they become ashes. Worm left the Navy looking for the brotherhood he'd lost. Six months prospecting for Liberty City MC, desperate to prove he deserves the patch and the family that comes with it. When he finds Tiffany standing in her destroyed garage refusing to break, he recognizes courage worth claiming—and a chance to prove himself worthy. The mob boss sends his head enforcer, then his operations manager, then armies. But Liberty City doesn't negotiate with predators who exploit honest businesses—they end them. Tiffany proves herself dropping an enforcer under fire, earning brotherhood respect through backbone and a steady trigger finger. She's not just his mission—she's the woman who looked at his prospect patch like it meant something before he'd earned anything. This war ends one way: with Andrei Popescu dead and Tiffany claimed permanently.
