However, the greatest challenge is about to strike Adler with the force of a freight train, and that is- LOVE Adler didn't hesitate to let the light brighten his dark world, nor did his cold heart skip a beat when he laid his blue eyes on a beautiful nurse named Addison Gune. He is utterly captivated by her, and Adler has no intention of ever letting her go. The hunters shall now become the hunted, and Adler will not hesitate to reclaim his freedom and seek vengeance.

Rhodes is an intimidating man, with no expression to match your attempted humor. But his art is like no other, a talented tattoo artist he gave people their wishes but better, making something permanent, merely impossible to regret. There was only one thing to make Rhodes soft, a gorgeous woman he studied like a student did before an exam, analyzing who she hung with, who she spoke to, hoping none of the interactions were genuine although they were. With the kindness that reminds one of a warm summer day, Cecelia serves Rhodes merely everyday at the local pub she waitresses for, his order the same every time to where she forgot his voice completely after the first time. After finding out where he works, she's determined to get him to speak, after all, he was the only one who she thought to be a bit strange. Little did she know he'd been watching her for months. Loving her from afar.
