With Danger being the first woman to ever leave an imprint on his heart, he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to bring her back to Dallas— even beg! There’s just one problem: the old Danger is gone, and the new Danger is strong, knows her worth, and is not about to settle for an “almost faithful” dude. Can Stranger win her heart back, or has he lost Danger forever? After confronting Spazz about his infidelity, Free hesitantly gives him another chance. Forgiveness has never come easy for her, but the minute she decides to let her anger go, something beautiful happens: their relationship finally starts to blossom.

Things are going from bad to worse between the two of them, and Free’s not sure how much more she can take. Add an enemy that brings an unexpected fight and an old rival that’s back to settle an old debt, and Free is just tired. Tired of fighting, tired of conflict— tired of not feeling free.

Will Stranger be able to pull the ones he loves out of harm’s way, or will someone have to take one for the team?

His plan was to make her want him, but when he realizes he needs her, he decides to do something completely different for a change: learn how to be a gentleman to Free. Finally on the right track, Spazz likes the new direction Free is taking his life in. He’s even making smarter business decisions and stepping up to help lighten the load for Stranger— at least he thinks he is— but it might be too late. Revenge is the one thing Spazz can’t let go of, and when he sets out to make his foes pay for disloyalty and disrespect, he digs himself and Stranger even deeper into a savage war that only has room for a single winner.
