Hemlock: Instead of leaving the Cerberus MC, I bide my time. When an opportunity plucks me from the desert of New Mexico and transplants me in East Tennessee, I feel a little better about life. The new job isn't as solitary as I expected it to be. Instead of doing working alone I'm stuck sitting at a bar, trying to determine if they're using the business as a human trafficking hub. Everything would be fine if the bartender could take a hint. She wouldn't be smiling at me if she had a glimpse into my history. Maybe giving her the attention she wants is exactly what she needs to start keeping her distance.

Ace: If love leaves you on the business end of a knife, then he has no interest. And that's how Eddie "Ace" Yarrow has lived the last ten years: independent and alone. He left Cerberus over thirty years ago because he wanted to make a difference closer to home. He made great strides in his career, but he’s going back to his roots. His forced vacation from ICE has him working a job for Cerberus. Cora Preston isn't trying to make his life harder, but she doesn't understand why they're not getting results. Cerberus is taking too long to find her sister, and inserting herself into the investigation is her only choice. The two butt heads more than once, and neither of them can predict just how close this investigation is going to bring them.

Jericho: I knew there was no point in looking back at what could've been when she couldn't even lift her eyes to me when her father ordered my death. She didn't fight for me, didn't fight for us.

I knew how it would end, only instead of dead, I was left in a much worse situation, having to know she was still alive and being unable to go to her. Seven years of hatred have built because of her silence.

But then her father died, leaving her at the hands of the very man who left me alive.

Not helping her isn't an option, but I second-guess stepping back into her life when I discover the secrets she's been keeping all this time.
