Kellan Reed: twenty-three years old, dark, dangerous, and deadly... at least according to some. April's always thought of him as a complete and utter jackass. He's come far in the few years he's been bounty hunting thanks to Mario, the only father figure he's ever really known. The two are polar opposites when it comes to their upbringing. April having grown up in a loving and caring home, until tragedy breaks it apart. And Kellan, who has been through foster home after foster home, the only stability he's ever experienced coming through the Manstens and the kindness they extended towards a troubled teenager.

This is their story, one which is filled with deplorable betrayal, unspeakable heartache, and a fragile truce that blossoms into... love?
