**A friendship they didn’t need turns into a love neither thought they wanted.**

Vaughn: I spend my days permanently marking people’s skin and my nights trying to forget the scars embedded in my soul. No longer a defenseless teenager, I return home, never expecting to fall for a woman who is just as complicated as I am.

Rayne: When I was too young to know better, I made a promise to a man who didn’t deserve my loyalty. Nobody has made me question that decision, until him. His pain is well hidden beneath his cocky exterior and dark, mysterious eyes. But in order to heal him, I have to face the brutal reality I’ve been trying to deny.
