Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

Penny Lane Brown wasn't your typical Encino Hills kid. Unlike her brother Bobby, she didn't spend her parents money relentlessly. Bobby and all of his friends did karate, which didn't seem like a cheap hobby to uphold. Her brother brought around his friends often. Penny felt like she saw them more then her own. They annoyed the shit out of her. But she had this special hatred for the one and only, Johnny Lawrence. He never payed attention to her until the summer of '84. Granted, he was dating Ali Mills, her best friend. It wasn't until she grew a little and broke up with Ali that the Lawrence boy had finally not been a total shithead towards her. Oh boy. Was the school year gonna be one wild trip.
