  Summary

  Dallas Winston has never cared much for sticking around — not with the law on his back, not with the streets pulling him under. But when Buck’s kid sister Lori moves in, it’s like staring into a mirror he doesn’t want to face. Trouble’s never hard to find in Tulsa, but this time it might be more than any of them bargained for.
