A Note From Kristin
When REPARATION ended, I finally had a plan in place for this series. Jinx had shown up out of no where and had taken over a part of my brain. She was a wily one, though. Strong but guarded. Not willing to give up her story easily. And Finn—sweet Finn—was right there, patient as can be. Working his way through life the only way he knew how. Watching them fall for each other was a lot of fun for me.
And then Mercy! And Parris! And Deacon! It was all so much for me to get excited about. Twists and turns started forming in my mind, the possibilities opening up.
But now…
Well, it’s time. Time to make a lot of hard decision about this series and where the story is going. I can feel the climax of the fight with the Soul Suckers coming, and I’m not sure everyone will get out alive.

Justice, Colorado
Where the vigilantes have all the legal authority.
In Justice, Colorado, the Kennards run everything, including the only big business in the area. Their sawmill employs most of the town, and the Kennard brothers live up to a long family history of keeping their neighbors and coworkers safe—until a motorcycle club comes to town and starts causing trouble. Big trouble.
The kind that ends in funerals.
The kind no law enforcement can help them with.

Acknowledgments
There’s a lot to be thankful for in my life. M
y friends, my family, my children, my dog, the people who got me here, the ones who were kind enough to walk away when I needed them to, the support network I’ve built and the people I’ve found over the years to help me regain my footing when I couldn’t do it myself. I owe everything to them.
* * *
To Lisa—my editor, my friend, and one of my favorite humans. I might like you cat more than I like you at times, but I’m pretty sure you can’t blame me.
* * *
To my Bitches, my Flavortown Crew, my Chatty Whores, and my Future Commune ladies…y’all keep me sane. Good luck keeping that up.
About the Author
Kristin Harte started off as a chemistry major in college but somehow ended up writing romances featuring ex-military heroes and the women who knock them to their knees…literally and figuratively. She likes drinking in the shade, snuggling under a warm blanket on a cold evening, and researching how to blow things up. Her children know nothing of what she writes, and her husband just hopes he’s not at their Chicago-ish home the day the government shows up to confront Kristin about her Google search history.
When not writing good men doing bad things, Kristin can be found writing paranormal romance as Ellis Leigh or co-writing naughty novellas as London Hale.
