I'm a man haunted by my mistakes of the past. I'd achieved my dream, lost it, then found my place with the Satan's Devils MC. Of course, being me, I blow that as well.

Some cold hard thinking was required. Is this who I want to be? When I get an opportunity to become a new man, I grab it with both hands, but that's when history catches up with me, I become snared in a web from which I can't escape and at its centre is a spider intent on killing me.

It's too late for redemption, unless I beat the odds and stay alive. But damn it, it's hard. How can one body take so much punishment and not die? It wouldn't be possible unless a man is driven to protect a woman he loves.

If I don't survive, neither will she.
