Aria has spent two years of her life convincing herself that her boyfriend, Brandon, is enough. He gives her enough love, enough attention, enough to keep her from being utterly alone. She ignores the jokes that hurt a little too much, the way he shuts her out when he is angry, and all the small things that she should not have to beg for. Ever since her mom passed, she has ignored obvious issues in order to avoid loneliness. Then she meets his father. Jon notices everything Brandon does not pay any mind to. Every time she gets quiet. Every time she laughs something off that clearly made her uncomfortable. Every time his son makes her think asking for the bare minimum is asking for too much. He knows that she is off limits. He knows wanting her would cross a line he has no business getting anywhere near. But the more he watches her, the more resentment builds toward his son, and the harder it becomes for him to ignore the urges he gets to show her that he could treat her so much better.

Frank Castle doesn't do neighbors. He doesn't make small talk. He doesn't get attached. And he sure as hell doesn't let people close enough to give him something to lose. Then Elana moves into the apartment across the hall with her one-year-old son, Noah. It starts small. A broken lock. A few bags of groceries. Noah's toy rolling against Frank's boot. Late-night texts that are only supposed to make sure they're safe. You home? Did you lock the window? Kid asleep? Frank tells himself he's just being careful. Protecting people is different from caring about them. Until Noah starts reaching for him whenever he walks into the room. Until Elana begins recognizing the man underneath the bruises, anger, and carefully constructed walls. Until the apartment across the hall starts feeling dangerously close to something Frank thought had been buried with his wife and children. A family. Frank knows exactly what happens to the people he loves. So when his violent world begins creeping toward Elana and Noah, every instinct tells him to walk away before they become another pair of names he carries with him. There's only one problem. Frank Castle has never been very good at walking away from someone who needs protecting. And somewhere between midnight text messages, baby toys scattered across his floor, and Elana refusing to be afraid of him, protecting his neighbors becomes something much more dangerous. He starts loving them.
