Scarlett Burns is one of those girls who is afraid of life. Who could blame her though. Growing up in a home where her father dumps the women he got pregnant from one night stands, and having random shoot outs outside her bedroom window isn't what most young girls call a palace. She has her own tales of helping siblings run away and keeping fugitives in her bottom bunk, but she would just like to keep it all a secret. But when her fathers debts get out of reach, and his drunken state promises her to a gang leaders son, her world has had the last straw. She marries Alex, a runaway genius Brit, who helps her out of a risky escape at the wedding scene.
Love isn't easy, but it's never getting any better than this.
