BONUS PREQUEL INCLUDED: Intro to the Sons of Sanctuary MC. A Season in Gemini
Brigid was a graduate student at the University of Texas. She had no trouble getting her thesis approved, but finding a Hill Country motorcycle club willing to give her access to their lifestyle was looking impossible. Then she got a lead. A friend of a friend had a cousin with family ties to The Sons of Sanctuary. Perfect. Or was it?
What Brigid wanted was information to prove a proposition. The last thing she had in mind was falling for one of the members of the club. Especially since she was a feminist academic out to prove that motorcycle clubs are organized according to the same structure as primitive tribal society.
Brash was standing in line at the H.E.B. Market when his world tipped on its axis. While waiting his turn to check out, his gaze had wandered to the magazine display and settled on the new issue of “NOW”. The image on the cover, although GQ’d up in an insanely urbane way, was… him.
After reading the article, Brash threw some stuff in a duffle and left his only home, a room at The Sons of Sanctuary clubhouse, with a vague explanation about needing a couple of days away. He left his truck at the Austin airport and caught a plane for New York, on a mission to find a mysterious guy walking around with his face.
SENSITIVITY WARNING: Sometimes this book is profane. Sometimes it's obscene. And sometimes it's both at once.

I've been wanting to write a series about bikers for a long time. I live in a part of Texas that is biker heaven. Most of my "research" is the result of the fact that my Classic Rock band played ice houses (the Texas version of biker bars) in and around Houston for years. These people are highly prized by musicians because they are a dying breed of humans who leave their habitats at night in search of live music. My former band, Roadhouse, thanks you, the bikers, for the good times you gave us.
I just want to add a word regarding the "parent trap" factor that so many people have talked about. It was one of those things that happens to writers, which you will read about in End of Book Notes. My plan and plot was for one of the central characters to die and leave her counterpart a walking shell, but the children intervened and begged me to change the story.
