Margot — I've loved Ryder since we were kids, but he's never been the type to stick with anyone for long. Being a deputy sheriff means I see the world differently—by the law. He's the opposite. The Mafia took my father from me. When they return to threaten everything I care about, including Ryder, I realize the line between right and wrong isn't so clear. If we're going to survive this, I'll need Ryder's strength. Maybe this time, we'll face danger together.

Ryder — Margot's been right in front of me for years, but I'm the guy who never sticks around. Commitment? Not for me. Now she's all I see. When the Mafia comes after the Hounds, everything is at stake. Margot's not just a deputy sheriff — she's the woman I've always needed. The woman I love. I'll die before I let anything happen to her.
