obvious she was itching to get away. ‘What happened with Shane…’
    ‘It was over a year ago now. It’s done.’
    ‘I’m sorry.’
    She looked back at him, that icy stare still very much there. She was so like her mother Michael almost had to do a double take.
    ‘Yeah,’ she whispered. ‘So am I.’
    ‘Can I ask you something, Lexi? Why did it take you so long to come back? Eight years – it’s a long time, sweetheart.’
    She narrowed her eyes. ‘For a long time I wasn’t sure I had anything to come back for .’
    ‘And now?’ Michael asked, genuinely concerned for this woman in front of him. He’d known her since the day she’d arrived in Paradise at the age of fourteen, with her mother and brother in tow. They’d fitted into this small, close-knit town like they’d always been there, and that was probably partly due to the fact they were connected to Tay and the Lone Riders. But he’d watched her grow from a moody, full-of-attitude teenager into a tough, feisty young woman. He’d watched her adapt to the life she’d been brought up in. But looking at her now, he wasn’t entirely sure it was a life that had been good for her.
    ‘Well, I guess that’s what I’ve come back to find out,’ she said, turning away from him, heading towards a place she’d never thought she’d see again. A place she’d always known she’d run back to.

    ‘Any of you up for a run this afternoon?’ Coby asked, finding Kip, Jesse, Blake and Luca by the pool table in the clubhouse.
    ‘Where to?’ Kip asked, leaning back against the table, nudging his cap back on his head with the tip of the pool cue.
    ‘ Tay wants all that stuff shifted and taken up to the cabin this afternoon. You can use the crash truck.’
    Kip looked at Jesse. ‘You up for it? Gets us out of here for a couple of hours.’
    ‘What stuff?’ Jesse asked.
    Coby threw him a look. ‘If you’d pulled your head out of your arse during church last night, you’d know.’
    Jesse stepped forward, his hands balled into tense fists by his side. Kip read his body language, pulling him back before he had the chance to do something stupid.
    ‘Come on, Jesse, chill out, man. It’s just some old furniture and shit that Tay ’s old man left him after he passed, remember? He’s been storing it in the garage at home but mum’s been nagging him to move it. He thought we could use it in the cabin.’
    Jesse shook off Kip’s grip, pushing a hand through his hair. ‘Yeah. Yeah, I remember… Guess I’m just a bit strung out, huh? Coby, man, I’m sorry.’
    Coby squeezed his shoulder, patting it roughly. ‘It’s okay. It’s understandable, given the circumstances.’
    ‘Everything okay in here?’ Tay asked, coming out of the chapel and leaning against the doorpost, his arms folded.
    ‘Everything’s fine.’ Coby walked over to Tay . ‘These guys are gonna drop that stuff off at the cabin.’
    ‘Good. It’ll keep Angie off my back. The keys to the crash truck are in the office. And if Angie’s there, tell her I need a word when she’s got a minute.’
    Jesse followed Kip, Luca and Blake out of the clubhouse, shielding his eyes from the bright sunshine as they headed towards the office, so he didn’t see it at first, the reason why everyone had suddenly stopped in their tracks. But as he looked out ahead of him, he saw it, too – the black convertible parked at the top end of the compound.
    ‘Oh, Jesus,’ Kip sighed as he caught sight of the figure stepping out of the car. He immediately turned to look at Jesse, but his friend’s eyes were fixed firmly on Lexi as she started walking across the yard, all crazy long legs and hard-faced beauty, her blonde hair hanging loose over her shoulders from   underneath a red bandana.
    Luca whistled, digging his hands into his pockets as he watched her draw nearer, those toned, tanned legs of hers striding purposefully across the compound, her eyes fixed straight ahead of her. ‘Eight years
