Originally published in the charity anthology, Christmas at the Clubhouse.
Kirby Westbrook had served his country proudly, coming home to find his life greatly changed. Struggling to recover from his injuries, he embarked on a new mission, to rebuild his grandfather's Texas-based MC, bringing together men just like him. Those who longed for the brotherhood a club can provide, but who weren't quite ready to reenter the civilian world.
Everything's on schedule, the entire operation silk smooth, until a childhood friend strolls out of a thunderstorm and into the picture. Dana Currier throws a monkey wrench into everything, seeming to go out of her way to disrupt his plans right and left, and it's only after a crisis he realizes...he wouldn't have it any other way.
