Asa

Asa Cross is a man with a second chance. An opportunity to right a lifetime of wrongs. Every single day is a struggle between who he should be and the man he knows he really is and always was. With a new life in Denver and a whole new circle of friends and family it's a tightrope walk to keep from falling back into old patterns. Asa doesn't want to hurt the people in his life who have come to love him and rely on him but sometimes when the bottom is the only thing you are familiar with it's the easiest place to end up. Royal Hastings has a problem. She's just started to settle into her demanding and dangerous job as a police officer, and more than that she's just started to make real friends. Something that has never come easily for her. The only thing she has to complain about these days is the fact that she can't stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she had to lock up. Not only is her crush on Asa inappropriate considering his endless criminal record, but she's also worried about how her newfound social circle is going to react to the fact she was just doing her job by putting him behind bars. Sometimes the wrong choice is really the only right choice to make.
