The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. —Friedrich Nietzsche Levi Poe, a.k.a. Messiah, is the road captain and son of the president of the Deadly Sins Motorcycle Club charter in Babylon, Georgia. He has everything going for him: loving parents, a club that respects and admires him, and the freedom and privilege that the club’s wealth has brought him. By all rights, Levi should be happy, but instead he feels depressed, angry, and trapped. The burden of a secret he’s been carrying around since he was a young teenager is becoming too heavy to bear, and he’s on the verge of buckling under its weight. Levi is gay. When Tanner and Mallory recently came out together, it should’ve paved the way for Levi to do the same. But Levi is afraid that despite how diverse and liberal the Deadly Sins Motorcycle Club is as an organization, a high-ranking member of the crew coming out won’t be so well received. Then there is Ryan Floyd, road-name Pretty Boy, a long-term prospect recently patched in as a full member of the MC. The club has firmly embraced him, as a result of his exceptional performance of duty in procuring new identities for Mallory and Justine, but he needs to go further to prove himself worthy of wearing the colors of the seven-headed snake. Ryan harbors feelings for the president's son, but unlike Levi, the fact that he’s a closeted gay man isn’t the only thing he’s hiding. A “side-job” requiring lethal force will bring Levi and Ryan together, but Ryan’s dark secret could subsequently rip them apart. Will love conquer all, as the saying goes, or will the brutal life that comes with wearing a patch be their undoing? _______________________ Word Count: 55,800 Publisher’s Note: This novel, the second in a series featuring various members of the Deadly Sins Motorcycle Club, does not end in a cliffhanger.
