“I’m gonna go down there and fix this!”
“Fix what? What are you fixing? Tudor?” I stumbled over my chair as I headed for the door to my office, tripped over some discarded reports, connected heavily with the tool cabinet, but none of the pain was as important as getting to Tudor before he did something stupid. There were too many people involved who didn’t want the cops brought down here, least of all me, and Tudor seemed to have forgotten everything in this wild grasp for control, the one who called for action over inaction, the 80 year old former owner of this garage was stuck reliving his glory days and thinking he could handle the corruption and doubledealing that was forcing us out of our homes.
The phone went dead, and I shoved the handset at Enzo. “I need to get to the park, Tudor’s freaking out.”
“I thought you told him–”
“You’re not helping!” I snapped and then left the garage at a run, vaulting the low fence that separated the back of our property and the trailer park, and then sprinting as fast as I could in heavy boots to Tudor’s home. I shoved my way inside, but there was no one there, and I got a very sick feeling that Tudor meant every word of the threats he’d been making at our last meeting. All he was doing was giving the bad guys ammunition to get us all moved on, and if the park fell and we all lost our homes, then Red Cars was next, and I needed my home and my job if I was going to fight for Cassidy, and people had to understand we should use legal means to get this stopped. I heard shouting, and without an alternative location to head for, I ran to the source of the noise and rounded the corner into chaos. The barrier that the x had installed last week lifted at an awkward angle, swung out over a car, and someone struggling to hold back Tudor was right in the path if the barrier was to fall.
Pride
A blazing connection between single dads from opposite sides of the tracks is fraught with secrets and lies, and a happily ever after is impossible, unless they take a chance on love.
Saved a long time ago by a man who saw a diamond in the rough, Logan is a single dad and the owner of Redcars Automotive, a haven for those in need. With custody of his daughter under scrutiny, his life is upended when a journalist looking for a story slips into his life without him realizing. Logan doesn’t want Gray more than once, but when sharing the secrets of his past won’t get the journalist to leave, what else can he do?
After blaming himself for missing signs that his son was ill, Gray feels Ben is safer with his ex-wife and her new pediatrician husband. With a heart heavy with guilt, and his documentary company failing to find a story, he’s searching for some spark in his life to fix everything. When a series of arson attempts draws him to Los Angeles, he meets the secretive, scarred, and tattooed Logan, who makes him an offer that Gray knows he should refuse.
This opposites-attract love story features two single dads reaching a crossroads in life, angst, secrets, arson, intimidation, and a found family so tightly connected that nothing can break it apart.
