On the Ragged Edge of the World

“While Oliver’s running wild in town?” Leo shook his head. “I hope whatever you were doing was worth it. I want this son of a bitch’s head.”


“Aden doesn’t have to explain himself to you,” Darren said. “If anything, you should explain just what you were thinking leading Oliver right to Aden’s door.”


Leo blinked at Darren. “Because we have an arrangement. And I needed help. If anyone would have been ready for Oliver, it would’ve been him. If he’d been here.”
