As a member of a tight-knit, extended family full of tough, sometimes-violent men, Flynn McCassey is no saint. But he is smart. The one his cousins call quiet and mysterious, his keen observation skills allow him to see things that other’s don’t.

Twenty-year-old Missy Grace has lost everyone she’s ever loved. When her best friend, Georgia McCassey, unexpectedly re-enters her life, Missy is presented with an opportunity to start a new life in Hagerstown, Maryland.

Flynn and Missy’s budding relationship comes to a screeching halt with one suspicious phone call. When she announces her need to return to Virginia and her ailing mother, her explanation does nothing to mask her fear. To make sure she stays safe, Flynn offers to drive Missy home. Thrilled by his offer, she accepts his generosity without considering the danger.

Halfway home, the truth comes out…giving Flynn just hours to figure out how to keep Missy alive.

This quirky story is peopled by ex-felon bikers, former druggies and moonshiners who arm themselves for family conflicts with knives, guns, bows, and, oh yes, dynamite. 

Just a bunch of good ol’ boys, who love their wives and kids, and will do anything to protect their kith and kin.  Thank God it’s all tongue in cheek or I’d have a big problem with a ten-year-old taking pride in the fact he might have fired one of the three shots that killed a man, even if it was in defense of a woman dear to the family.

The pacing and dialog are great and it was an entertaining read.  Although this was touted as Flynn’s story, it’s really Missy’s.  Flynn was just lucky enough to win her.
