Knight. Chess Club, #2

Keeping promises can be deadly. Chase Payne is on the right track to letting go of his past. He left his job to go back home; not just to bury a friend, Wes Davenport, but to hold a promise he fully intended to keep."Just suck it up, Chase, and get your ass in gear, " he said to himself. Corruption, scandal, terror, and loss have plagued his hometown of Lakeridge for too long. The region's top FBIS agent has asked the Chess Club to work together to fix the mess.
For Chase, that means putting his past demons to rest and focusing on the future. If he could find solid evidence that Univy was breaking the law in his town or county, it'd be one step closer to getting justice for Alex Layton - and for Wes. Considering he'd never felt he deserved any kind of future, not after he'd let the last woman he'd loved get murdered right in front of him. This homecoming challenges him in ways he never saw coming.
Not to mention the competition with Lieutenant Cassidy Redbird for sheriff. On more than one front, Chase really has his work cut out for him. But how much of his past can he let go of, and what will happen to him and the ones he loves if he can't?
