The Outlaw

Knox Callahan walks out of an Illinois prison with forty dollars in his pocket, ten years of rage in his chest, and one plan—track down the motorcycle club president who framed him and end it. No roots. No ties. No future. Just revenge.

Then a flickering neon sign and an all-night diner change everything.

Jessie Moore is the graveyard-shift waitress at The Night Owl, a small-town survivor who’s learned to keep her head down and her tips hidden. On paper she’s free. In reality she’s trapped under a badge—stalked and controlled by a local deputy who treats her like property and laughs at her restraining order. Jessie’s saving every dollar for a one-way bus ticket out of town… until a scarred, tattooed ex-con with ice-blue eyes takes the back booth and sees the bruises she’s trying to hide.
