Calliope: I've made some bad choices, but this time I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life — all because another mistake had come back to haunt me, putting my adopted sons at risk. In sheer desperation I turned to some bikers on the road for help. One in particular — the man they call Carnage — seems to wrap his mantle of protection around us. What I didn't know is, his club is home to the twins' father. Once again, I know I'll have to pay the consequences for my bad decisions. What can I do if he decides he wants custody of his sons? I'm not sure even Carnage can save us this time.

Carnage: I really do try to steer clear of trouble, but when a frightened woman with two kids flags us down on the road, I can't leave them to face their fate alone. I know I'm bringing trouble home with us, all the way back to Kentucky and the very heart of my club. One thing's for sure — I have questions that need answers. I promised Calliope I'll never let anyone separate her from her boys, and I mean to stand by that promise. There's no way I'm letting anyone take what's mine. Carnage isn't just a name. It's what follows in my wake when people get in my way.
