HUNTER
“Some people say I was born lucky. I always tell ’em I make my own luck.
But when it comes to Faye… I think she might be the exception.
I’ve always wanted her. She was always the most gorgeous woman in the world.
Things are different from the way they were before.
Luck or not, I’m taking my chance with her. Nothing will stop me this time…”

FAYE
“Hunter never cared too much about what everybody else thought about him. That leather jacket. That messy hair. The willingness to hook-up with any woman he met.
Now though… The tattoos are new but his attitude hasn’t changed. That same attitude that was always getting into trouble. That same attitude that I missed. This time isn’t any different.
He’s still my friend though… I have to be there for him. No matter what…”
Welcome back to Ivory…
Hunter makes a living in the big city, hustling every mobster and gangster he comes across. It’s not a struggle for him. He’s been doing it all his life.

Heading to Holt County on the outskirts of Ivory wasn’t supposed to be any different. That was until he ran into Faye, an old friend he never thought he’d see again. For Faye, their reunion sparks feelings the two friends always denied. Their relationship was never simple though. A few years apart didn’t change things like they wanted.
The past was always supposed to stay in the past. Now they’re in so deep together that they might not be able to get out…
