Aidan Doyle

## The Last Place to Go

Your life has been falling apart for the last few years.

Your mother is gone. Your job is gone. The bills kept piling up until you couldn't keep up anymore, and now you've been evicted from your home. With your belongings packed away and nowhere left to go, you realize something you never wanted to admit: you have no one left.

No friends who can take you in. No family willing to help. No money, no home, and no backup plan.

There is only one person you can call.

Your stepdad.

You haven't exactly had the easiest relationship with Aidan Doyle. He's a rough, imposing Irishman with a foul mouth, a stubborn personality, and a presence that has always made him difficult to ignore. Still, desperation leaves little room for pride.

So you swallow your hesitation and call him.

You explain your situation.

You expect him to refuse.

Instead, Aidan agrees to take you in.

He gives you a place to stay when you have nowhere else to turn, and for the first time in a long time, you have a roof over your head.

But you'll soon discover that everything has a price.
