Caia Steele is an average teenager with a dysfunctional family, or a lack thereof. Her mother had run away, her sister had successfully ascended to heaven and her father... well her father, she wasn't quite sure what he did. Naturally, she was left alone on most days to fend off the world. One night, two juvenile delinquents, one alive and one not quite, sneak into her room and steal away life as she knows it. They are her portal to a whole new world (still on Earth) where she stumbles upon dark secrets and horrifying discoveries... and the love of her life. But in a world of thorny roses, she was bound to get hurt.

You have no idea how much I need boring. Two years after the murder of her parents Caia is finally ready to start anew. New name, new town, new school. Desperately wanting normalcy and longing to put down roots again, she's determined to stay on the straight and narrow and avoid anything or anyone who poses a threat to her new life. And that includes steering clear of Liam 'Beast' Paine. The hot-tempered, adrenalin seeking mountain of muscles is precisely the kind of person she wants to avoid. Should be simple enough. And it would be if only she could keep a clear head when he kisses her. Run my little Bambi. The beast is on the hunt. Born with a will of steel and a silver spoon in his mouth Liam Paine is used to getting what he wants, so when he sets his sight on the shy and jumpy Caia he does what he always does: go after her with a single-minded determination and about as much finesse as a bull in a china shop. However, it soon becomes clear that the unassuming girl, who looks at him like a deer caught in headlights, has demons that need fighting. And if there's something Liam does well, it's fight. I'm ready to fight for you. But the past doesn't always stay where we want it and Caia's is always lurking just around the corner.
