"Exactly the testosterone ride I needed today. A quick action-packed romance that starts with a fire and burns even hotter." (Kira Gold, author and RITA award finalist)

In a town called Justice, there’s nothing to fear except a man willing to break all the rules for the woman he craves.

As a former Green Beret, I know how to follow orders and obey rules. I’ve learned to be patient, to look at a situation from every angle, and to live by a code of honor most men know nothing about. But when a motorcycle club puts a target on not just my hometown, but the five-foot-nothing blonde who unknowingly holds my heart in her hands, obeying the law takes a back seat to keeping my woman safe. I’ve never had something so precious to protect, and I’ve never been willing to cross so many lines to get a job done.

My need to destroy those who threaten Shye could cost me my home, my freedom, and my life...but I’d sacrifice it all to save her.

Payback is a full-length contemporary romantic suspense novel from USA Today best-selling author Ellis Leigh writing as Kristin Harte. It's the first book in the Vigilante Justice series featuring stories of very good men doing very bad things to protect those they love.

"This book had it all. Suspense, family devotion, love and how sometimes you will risk it all, even your life, for the one that has hold of your heart. Loved. Loved. Loved." (Melissa Marino, author of the Bad Behavior series)
