Her dad finally tells her about a family she never knew existed and that they left her everything in Charleston, South Carolina. This Sang is different from the one we know. She endured her step-mothers punishments her whole life, but instead of becoming scarred of the outside world - she became determined to live. She doesn't want to end up a shut-in like her or afraid of everyone like her half sister Marie. So when her father tells her to leave, she does exactly that.

She's been a single bird since training. She was at the top of her gun training class. She was able to stay alive as a loner bird since she was seven. Even though older teams usually took her out for missions she always felt alone. The only team that kept tabs on her was the Toma team. They trained her. They know how she can function. She's got a trade. She knows her way around a gun. If she needs a specific gun she can get it without batting an eyelash. WARNING: This is an original team. The dogs and bird are my characters. The GB and SB teams I do not own. The locations in Charleston I do not own. CL Stone is the owner of the Academy series. There are some places from the original GB and SB series in this book. Characters also tend to pop in at unexpected times. ENJOY!!!! PS this is copyrighted no stealing any of this work.

If I find one with the exact same tags and plot at a later time than when my book was written I will ask politely for you to take it down before reporting it.

Alicia, a teacher from New Jersey, has recently moved to Jefferson, Georgia. She is about to meet her match in the form of badass biker and country singer, Brantley Gilbert. Alicia is not used to a country man, but she is very willing to learn to love one.

Raegan is a local radio talent host from Lexington, KY. Brantley Gilbert is an on fire country bad ass, a meeting one night at a concert brings them together that leads to a night of passion and him running out on her with no word for nine months. What will happen when they see each other again?

Old flames, first loves, is it ever really over or is it really meant to be?

Best friends, partners in crime. Life long friends since they were ten. Are they ready to add hook up to that list? Stephanie and Brantley had a secret they thought they had hidden carefully from all their friends and family. Maybe they weren't as careful as they thought. Could she be that girl or just another Cinderella that never sees the sun?

MacKenzie James was never one to back down from any challenge thrown her way. She was beautiful, strong, independent, confident and over all had a great outlook on life. To the world her life was perfect. She was a well known YouTube user, posting videos of her covering songs with her own twist to them. Her small acting career was just about to take off. And all this was happening with her college love by her side supporting her. In front of the camera it would seem that her life was perfect. But behind the camera it was anything but perfect. MacKenzie's personal life was going up in flames while she stands in the spot light rising to fame. Unsure of how to handle all the lies and betrayal, the violent nights that kept turning into tear stained mornings. She feels like she's about to break. Will Mackenzie crack under the pressure or does she find a helping hand in the darkness that consumed her? Brantley Gilbert was trying to get out of the hole he dug for himself. After long time love Amber, cheats on him and leaves him, he looks for comfort in drinking and drugs. His faith starts to waiver. It's unclear if he'd make it out of the darkness he surrounded himself in. Until one day he finds hope in the most unlikely of places. Scrolling through Facebook, he comes across a video going viral. He starts to pull his life back together piece by piece and with a little help, he finds his strength to continue on. Will these two find their way or will the weight of their worlds crush them? Story is set to start in 2016 before the Take it Outside tour. And will eventually end up in present day. So please bear with me. Not all of the events will take place they way they did in real life. I do not own Brantley Gilbert (unfortunately) or any of the songs used in the story. This is my first Wattpad Story, so please be gentle with the critics. Also am up for any ideas the readers have and would like to see in the story.
