Tank"So how does it feel?"I look over at Renegade, not able to keep the smile from spreading across my face, or the joy out of my voice as I answer. "To be back? It feels fucking amazing."He laughs as he takes a drink from his to-go mug of coffee. "It's awesome to have you back. I like Ace, but you're my best friend."I'm letting Renegade drive, which is totally unlike me, but they've all asked me to be honest with them, and I admitted to Holden it would be best for me to wait a few weeks. I need to do a couple of pass-through's on the bottoms before I'm ready to drive the road myself. It's nothing like PTSD, but there's a nervousness I can't explain, even though I've tried. Everyone seems to understand and for that I'm grateful. "I know, I love Blaze, don't get me wrong," I stretch my leg out, pleased at how it feels. "But I'm glad to have someone else's company for a while."He nods in agreement. "Same. I love Whit and Stella, they are my life, but I enjoy coming to w

TankI tug at the collar of my dress shirt as I stand outside the courthouse, surrounded by friends, family, and coworkers. There's a part of me that doesn't want to be here, but there's also another part of me that knows I need to be here. I have to see justice be served. More than anything, I deserve to see justice served."You doing alright?" Blaze asks as she stands next to me, her hand on my arm.Glancing down at her, I take in the dress she's wearing. Conservative, not her normal wear, and she has her hair pulled back in a pile of curls on her head. She looks nothing, if not sophisticated. Beside her my family stands, and then the guys from the Moonshine Task Force. "I'm good," I clear my throat. "Want this over with so we can truly move forward.""It does feel like there's a dark cloud hanging over us in the form of Brooks, doesn't it?" she puts her arm around me, leaning into my chest."Yeah," I answer truthfully. "It's the unknown. I don't want to ruin the kid's l

Blaze"It's too cold to get in that pool," Whitney and Trevor's mom, Mona, yells at Ryan as he dips his feet in the shallow end of the pool in their backyard. It's been hot all day, but as night falls this time of year, it usually gets cold."He's gonna catch his death of cold," she mumbles as she watches him not heed her warning."Whatever, it got up to ninety today and it's almost April. Hell," he takes a drink of the beer in his hand. "It's damn near summer."I glance at Whitney, who shakes her head laughing when she sees Trevor making his way over to Ryan, sticking his feet in the pool too. I'm not sure what the two of them are talking about, but we're rewarded with their deep laughs as they both throw their heads back. I love their friendship.I'm holding Stella in my lap, facing outward so she can see all the goings on. In the past few weeks, she's started to become more animated and to show a little bit of personality. She smiled at me the other day and I thought I'

BlazeTwo Months LaterI enter The Café with a huge smile on my face. Today's been a great day. In what's become our regular booth, I see Trevor waiting for me, wearing his hot as fuck white t-shirt with his bullet proof vest over the top. It's too hot for them to wear their button-down shirts and this is what most of the guys look like around these parts right now."I'll be right with ya, Blaze. He already ordered your drink," Leighton tells me as she gives me a grin.Not long ago she started waitressing here, and she seems to have acclimated well. "Sounds good."As I approach the booth, Trevor stands up, grabbing hold of my hand and bringing me in for a kiss. "Hey, hot stuff," he whistles between his teeth as he sees the dress I wear with my Louboutins. "Look at you, how did your meeting go?""Hey, handsome," I kiss him, gripping him around the waist as he motions for me to sit in the booth. We're same-side sitters and everybody makes fun of us, but I love being pressed u

TankAugust"I didn't expect to see you here today," I lean over kissing Blaze, who looks gorgeous in her sundress and sandals. The turquoise color she's picked makes her look like The Little Mermaid with her red hair. "I gave a talk at the high school about mental health awareness," she explains, putting a bag on my desk. "Then I went and got a piece of pie from The Café, because when your arms aren't available, chocolate and coconut make it all better."I get up from my seat, enveloping her in my arms. "Why have chocolate and coconut when my arms are yours whenever you need them?"She burrows her head into my chest, and like always, it makes me feel like I'm the strongest man in the world. To know this woman counts on me to be her anchor in the storm that's sometimes our lives is the biggest blessing I've ever received. "You okay?" I kiss her on the forehead."Yeah," she whispers. "Sometimes it's hard to talk about her, but I'm really proud of the work I've been doing in

VOLUME THREE: HAVOCHavocSix Months Earlier"Holden, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do you part?"It's hard to swallow against the lump in my throat. I worry that I'm doing the wrong thing here. Making this young girl trade in one life she didn't want to live for another. But as I look at her, I see a future for me. One I'd never thought possible. As a rule, I don't trust women, but I have trusted her since I met her.For six months I've lived with her, learning the type of person she is, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that she has a good heart. In some ways she's a product of her environment, in other's she's risen above and beyond. I want to be the person who helps her realize her destiny, the future she can have. I've come to care for her, come to be her friend, and I know there's nothing I won't do for her. Somehow, she's

LeightonPresent DaySometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had never met Holden Thompson in a capacity other than an official one having to do with his job. Our civilian introduction is kind of a funny story. It involves a shot of whiskey and my first game of truth or dare. In this small town, my last name is synonymous with Moonshine, anything illegal, and now the accident that injured Trevor Trumbolt.A year and a half ago though, right before Whitney Trumbolt and Ryan Kepler became an item, I'd stood up to my family and had gone to Birmingham for one semester of college. It was the first time I rebelled against them all. I said fuck my last name, my family, and their reputation. I was going to make my own way. Ultimately, I paid for it by being arrested for them. But the night I truly met Holden Thompson is forever ingrained in my brain."C'mon Leighton! You mean to tell me you've never done anything reckless?"I swallow the drink of beer I sucked down hard.

Havoc"Sorry I'm late getting here," I call to my guys. "I was in the middle of the mother of all traffic stops. I got a car transporting fifty fucking pounds of marijuana, and I had to hand that shit off to another officer," I grumble, throwing my MTF uniform on."Oh, quit your bitchin'," Tank throws over his shoulder as he's putting his gear on too. "I was having lunch with Blaze.""And I was in the middle of naptime with Stella," Renegade throws in his two cents. "We're all making sacrifices for what we do.""But my picture could have been on the State of Alabama Facebook page for the biggest marijuana bust in these parts in years," I argue, a grin on my face that they can't see."It don't matter who likes your ugly mug now, Havoc," Menace, the oldest of my guys, besides me, pipes in with his response. "You're married, you don't need the notoriety.""Yeah." Ace grins at me as I turn around to face them. "Menace here has been celibate since Caleb was like four, more than
