Ava knows she shouldn’t keep looking for Pat. He’s a member of the Chaos and Carnage MC, and they are nothing but trouble. But, she likes him. He makes her smile. Even though she knows she should stay away from him, Ava is drawn to him.
He’s older than her. She deserves someone her own age, but he still can’t let her go. What starts as a small romance, soon blooms into something much more. Ava was a virgin, and Pat won't let anyone else have her.
However, danger within Carnage is heating up. It started with an attack on his bike. Then someone shoots out the mechanic shop, injuring one of their men. It has to be the Cartel, and now it is time to take the fight to them.

*************FULL BOOK START HERE*************
Chapter One
Pat sat at the late-night coffee bar and stared down into his black coffee. They only served coffee and cake, and stayed open till well after midnight. This was the place he came when he didn’t want to sleep.
The shop itself was just on the outskirts of Carnage. It had a large parking lot, the lights were garish, and they seemed to draw in many travelers. Not that anyone was interesting company at this late hour.
While most coffee shops opened for the morning and ran through to dinner, this place did not. They catered to the late-night crowd, which was why the shop was literally called, The Late-Night Coffee Shop.
Some might think it was a little long-winded as a name, but not Pat.
He took a sip of his coffee, and it always surprised him that it didn’t taste like shit. It was good coffee. Good cake. It was certainly worth leaving his veganism behind. He was not strictly a vegan, but he didn’t turn down vegan food. He knew Bull, his friend and Prez, would randomly tell people he was vegan, and he never disputed it. This place had too much good cake to turn down. The place was a rare gem. Rather than risk waking up the Chaos and Carnage club, he came here, drank hot coffee, ate cake, and just waited until the shop was due to close.
“How are you doing?”
He looked up to see Ava. Her name was pinned to her apron just above her breast. She was here serving every night, the six days the coffee shop was open. Always with a smile and a seemingly lovely demeanor.
“Good. You?”
She chuckled. “I’m doing good. You know, you’re fast becoming one of the regulars around here.”
Her blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and she had a pair of small glasses perched on her nose, but they didn’t detract from her pretty blue eyes. Ava was a gorgeous woman.
Yes, using his military contacts, he had done a check on her. He didn’t trust anyone who was ... nice. Not without a cause. Nice people often spelled disaster, and in his line of work, that was something to be weary of.
Especially with the cartel suddenly taking a back seat. In the last couple of years, Carnage had been the hot spot for the cartel, which started with the Vito Crew, run by a guy named Julio. To cut a long story short, Julio was into dogfighting, and he, along with the Chaos and Carnage MC, loved dogs. They didn’t take kindly to the illegal fighting taking place in their town. Julio ended up dead, and the dogfighting stopped.
Only, Julio had a brother, Miguel, who was running drugs, dogs, and it would seem women in Carnage, right under their noses. Again, another long story short ... Miguel was dead.
During this time, they had been introduced to one of the scariest motherfuckers to keep the cartel at bay, William Ranford. Now, Ranford had a brother, who was part of the illegal dogfighting. Baby Ranford ended up with his head severed, and his body in parts. William ended up in hiding, but now that Miguel was dead and he had a revenge kick, another problem was started.
In the last few months, according to William Ranford, he had an army of men willing to die to end the cartel. He wanted Chaos and Carnage MC to help, to be part of his revenge war.
Bull wanted to see the end of the cartel. Pat didn’t give a shit, as the rest of the club. Only, they had to work with William, and they had to come up with a plan that didn’t put the whole town on the killing line.
It was a lot to take in.
And Pat liked to have a late-night coffee, and if he was honest, look at the pretty blonde with the easy smile.
There was no violence at this place. Just a nice place to drink. That was all they wanted.
“Do you have a problem with that?”
“Not at all, just so long as you don’t mind me being your waitress?” she asked.
“I don’t mind.”
He had to stop the urge to look down at her curvaceous body. The uniform she wore emphasized every curve. Nice, big tits, and the top of her uniform seemed to be close to popping open, yet it never did. She had a small waist but thick hips and thighs. Even her calves looked juicy. She had a nice, full face, a gorgeous smile, and he happened to like her plump cheeks as well.
“Is there anything else you’d like to order?” she asked.
“A slice of carrot cake.”
“Coming right up.”
She spun away from him, and he got to admire that full ass. He loved a woman with curves.
Now, in the last few years he’d known Bull, the Chaos and Carnage MC Prez, along with the man’s brother, had found women who were curvy. Maddie and Aria were sweet women, but they were also insecure about their weight. In the last few months, he had never seen Ava step foot into Jase’s gym, but he knew Maddie and Aria still liked to go.
