Jaylon is the oldest son of Apollo. As the oldest, he is his father's right hand. He often finds himself going around the world making sure his father's underlings are doing their jobs, and putting order to the chaos they make; which is a lot. Doesn't leave much room for love does it? Avery Turner is an orphan. Not the best cards life can give him, but he doesn't have the time to worry about. Jumping from county to county and city to city, he accepts any kind of job he can get. And when he gets the opportunity to work on a cruise, he doesn't pass it. But he didn't know what was going to come from that job.
