Young, uber-achieving professional Halley McCarthy slinks back to her small-town Michigan roots in shame. Her carefully constructed life blew up and everything she measured as success disintegrated. Her employer, a San Francisco tech startup, is under federal investigation for fraud; its executives are accused of embezzlement; her vengeful ex-fiancé is not who he said; and soon a colleague is murdered. When escalating anonymous threats find her halfway across the country, independent Halley realizes she has to trust someone with her secrets. She hesitantly brings close the multiple generations that make up the motorcycle club dynasty she calls family. Betrayal, bullets, and the secrets are all too much, but when revelations tie her mother's unsolved murder twenty-eight years earlier to the startup's woes and Halley's own recent life choices, it all comes together with the help of the family's unexpected resources in tech, security, and far-flung connections. In her new vulnerability, Halley will discover the best in herself and her unconventional family, carving out a new life and the possibility of love - if she can survive. Family - blood and chosen - proves that regardless of the consequences, character is strength, and discovering what makes one happy, well, that may be the biggest success of all.
