Outcome

Three years ago, Chase Gallardo ran toward freedom with his fellow survivors after having spent five months in captivity. He hasn't stopped running since. Only now, it's the memories he's constantly trying to escape. Haunting echoes of a man who forced Chase to play the part of another, the kidnapper's younger brother. Chase may have survived, but that doesn't mean he's really living. Until one day, when his employee tells him there's a man sitting at the bar, wearing only underwear. Remy Stahl has given up-almost. For a year, alcohol, drugs, and faces without names have kept him company. But he has two friends who refuse to give up on him, and they lock him up in his house in an attempt to save him from himself. Though, never underestimate an addict's desire to see the bottom of another bottle. Remy escapes, and he doesn't give a rat's ass that he's nearly naked. This is the sequel to Aftermath, where Cam and Austin met, struggled, and fell in love. Outcome takes us back to Bakersfield with Chase and Remy's story. Fueled by anger, guilt, and shame, they're not off to an easy start. But it's only a matter of time before they learn how much they need each other in order to move on.
