Wynter already has a hard time as is growing up in Louisiana. She completely lives by the code of "by any means" With the help of her best friend, Kentrell, life shouldn't be so hard since he is overall her Protector.
He never learned love - only survival.
Kentrell's world is built on pain, loyalty, and lessons that cut too deep to forget. To everyone else, he's trouble - the kind you don't come back from.
But I saw the pieces he tried to hide. The softness behind the scars.
Loving him didn't save him. It just taught me that some hearts only understand love through pain.
