Maverick Gambit by Marjorie King

Knox always defends his own.
So when pirates plunder an impoverished town–a town that’s earned Knox’s guarded friendship–he’s going to do something about it.
The town needs shields to keep them and their children safe, and Knox will get those shields. But to get them, he’ll have to cross a powerful corporation with a dark secret that he’s about to stumble straight into.
First in a rollicking series!
