Choosing the Hard Way

Royce "Turk" Atkins has organized his life around two constants: his brothers and Autumn Shaw.

For twenty years the people closest to him have understood his loyalty to Set, Nut, and Shad, but not why Autumn still holds him, why she agreed to have his son, or why he will not seriously consider anyone else while she remains committed to her girlfriend, Patience.

Turk rarely explains himself, and the consequences of a wild night with Autumn and Patience months earlier only deepen his confusion.

After years of teasing Patience, overstepping boundaries, and fighting over his place in Autumn's life, he steps in as her protector the moment she needs him, then begins to move for her as he once moved only for Autumn.

As secrets, lies, and danger press in, his loyalty is tested between the gang family he formed as a boy and the family he is building as a man.

When Patience's past finally catches up, the unexpected connection between her and Turk may save them or ruin everyone involved.
