The Wicked Aftermath
Synopsis
Tank Wicked has spent his life trying to save everyone in his path. Living by the creed of the Dark Knights motorcycle club, he protects his Cape Cod community as a volunteer firefighter and treats the crew at his tattoo shop like family, all while carrying the grief of losing his sister. Then one foggy night, a car careens off a bridge and into the river below, and Tank plunges into the water to pull the passengers to safety, but not everyone comes out alive. Leah Yates is simply trying to make it through each day. When the man she blames for her grief becomes the only person who can pull her back from the edge of despair, she learns that even hope comes at a price. Set on the sandy shores of Bayside, where the Wickeds are fiercely protective and unbreakably bonded, this is an emotionally charged story of love, loss, and the fragile first steps toward healing. As blame and attraction tangle together, Tank and Leah edge toward a connection neither expected, discovering that the person you hold responsible for your pain can sometimes be the one who saves you.
