There are two kinds of prison sentence that try to break us: the one served behind bars and the one served through a lifetime of guilt. Drew Tucker, despite his formidable reputation, was a man who had been dealt every kind of sentence known to man. His only path of survival was to fight and conquer. After five years of solitude with nothing to keep him company but old ghosts and relentless demons, Drew was finally out, and he had a plan to reign supreme again.But everything had changed since he'd left the small town of Babylon, Texas, and where he once fit into the world around him, he now felt misguided, misplaced, and misunderstood. Freedom wasn't free anymore and it sure as hell didn't come cheap.That only got worse when he crossed paths with Ayda Hanagan. Legal guardian of her teenage brother, over worked, underpaid and clinging onto sanity by the skin of her teeth, Ayda should have been easier for Drew to beat down and manipulate. She should have been easier to keep quiet. Determined to stay on the road he was born to travel, Drew was willing to fight whoever got in his way or blocked his path to the top. Even the blue-eyed blonde who seemed to have more mouth than sense. His actions were about to shake up the whole town again, and Drew didn't care whether that came with or without consequences, or what the hell that meant for the likes of Ayda Hanagan.
