Ever since that day, he's had one goal: to find his sister's killer and bring them to justice. Fast forward ten years and Ben is one of the most dedicated officers on the force, giving up his personal life to spend years working undercover. He's investigating one of the most notorious crime syndicates in the Southwest and is closer than he's ever been to gaining the trust of those at the top. But then he meets a girl who reminds him so much of his sister that he might be willing to sacrifice his cover to save her. After witnessing the murder of her family, Anastasia Clarence thought her life could never get any worse. But eleven months later, her world fell apart all over again. Now, kidnapped and held for ransom back in the city where it all began, she has two choices: to give up completely or to fight for the remaining fragments of her soul. There's nothing quite as formidable as a woman with nothing left to lose. Cover Credit @bakedsausage

Then all of a sudden, they're thrown together and despite their destructive past, they're forced to overcome their differences. It's time for Ashley to stop running away from his death glares, blank stares and that spine-chilling scowl that reminds her just how little he cares.

It's a fight-or-flight situation, a reincarnation of her past, a chance for him to right the wrongs he did by her. A second chance is like giving someone an extra bullet for their gun after they missed you the first time round. So here's Tyler's gun. Here's Ashley's heart. And here's to their second chance, however hopeless it may seem.
