Deacon Saint My father told me once that anything that gets your blood racing is worth the risk doing. I don’t factor in the tragic loss of my best friend, find out my mamma has Alzheimer’s, and reconnect with a girl who broke my heart all those years ago. Coming back to Alama, Tennessee—after ten years gone—leaving behind a MotoGP racing career, I’d have to face the trials set before me by family, friends, and the girl I’ve always loved. I’d rather take on the track, lose skin, break bones, and tear muscle than face the changes rutted in my life. Olivia Bane I thought my life was perfect. Working as a nurse, a doctor-boyfriend, and friends I cherish dearly. Then Deacon Saint comes back home and my ideal life shifts to utter chaos. My boyfriend’s a monster. I almost lost my job and I’m faced with losing my heart again to the racer that broke it in the first place. Deacon shattered me once, and now he thinks it’s water under the bridge. It’s going to take more than smooth talkin’, fast motorcycles, and good old Southern country charm to win me back. Triggers of physical assault.
