Pigeon

IvyWhen my mother, who suffers from mental illness, leaves my brother and me in the care of our grandparents, my life changes dramatically. Being raised on a large ranch, loved and cared for, I had a great childhood with them. With my grandparents passing, though, things changed. My brother and I have always had a difficult relationship, but it only gets worse now that he’s in control of my life.Working at an animal rescue, FurEver Homes, I have become friends with a few of The Devil’s Angels members and their families. When a member of their club steps up to help me get free of my brother’s control and abuse, I accept it gratefully, but I want much more than that from the tatted biker with kind eyes.PigeonWatching Ivy on the security cameras at FurEver Homes, I’m intrigued and amused by her. She’s young, too young for a jaded, somewhat older biker, but that doesn’t change the fact that watching her with the forgotten animals calms my soul. When I spot obvious signs of abuse, I step in.Spending time with Ivy, her strength and resilience only impresses me more. This young woman is fighting alone for her future and her dreams of starting a therapeutic riding center for kids. Her dream to help others shouldn’t have to come at such a high cost to herself. I make a promise to her that I’ll do whatever I can to help her succeed, but none of us saw the road that promise would lead us down.Mature content. Discretion is advised.
