Splatterstorm Syndicate- Syndicate

Three years ago, Phoenix Hart had a temper to match his copper-red hair - loud, wild, and ready to burn bridges.But now? He's grown up. Runs a tattoo studio. Has his shit together.He's mindful. Demure.Nothing shakes him - not even the memory of Splatterstorm Syndicate, the paintball team that left him behind.At least, that's what he tells himself.Then the team storms back into his life, led by his golden-boy brother Grayson and the infuriating garbage truck of a man, Hunter Ash. And suddenly, Phoenix is spiraling - reminding himself on repeat that he's mindful. Demure.So ridiculously demure.Once friends, now enemies.Especially that garbage truck Hunter Ash.But what if it starts to feel like something else?Phoenix has spent three years building his calm. Now he's fighting to keep it from crashing down - trying to prove that Splatterstorm Syndicate and the idiots on it mean nothing. Absolutely nothing... right?
