Things have never been easy for Alexandria Tulley. Her mother's dead, her father was arrested when she was just fourteen years of age. She never really had the opportunity to act as a child would. When she is adopted by her best friend's parents, it seems things are looking up for her. Two years later, a few big, bulky and scary strangers show up and begin attending her school. She doesn't think anything of it, generally staying in her own lane until one of them, a grey-eyed beast, approaches her. Apparently she's owed him something her whole life. Her life.
