Mike Dufrane fled a traumatic youth, hard years haunted by an abusive biker father, poverty and degradation, by escaping into the military. There he found only more savage violence. Then a chance encounter with an animal rescue group showed him another way. On an Indian reservation in the southwest, he finds a place to make a difference. Rez Dogs Rescue Shelter will be his route to build a positive life. Then a handsome Native American rides up on a Harley and throws Mike’s plans for a loop.<br><br>Adam was not there when his kid brother needed guidance and a firm hand. Back from two tours with Special Forces, he starts a youth center on the Rez to try to atone for his error but he cannot give up his Harley or his image as one bad ass biker. When an outsider starts a shelter for abused and neglected dogs, Adam initially finds it ludicrous but then recognizes a purpose similar to his own. However, the stranger seems to fear or hate bikers and is reluctant to begin a friendship. When crime and danger threaten both their projects, they have to join forces to prevail and suppressed attraction bursts into flame.

Meanwhile, he got Bobby placed in his custodial care and continued to work every lead he could find to raise more funds for the youth center. Although Bobby did not actually live with Adam in his remote little cabin—he resided with Josie and her family—the boy spent a lot of time with him. Adam prayed it would be enough to keep him away from the tempting lure of the gang as substitute family and friends and the potent siren song of drug-induced highs. To a lonely kid without real parents and no close ties, those were traps all too easy to fall into—just like Randy had.
