Mika, a true rebel and firm believer in do-it-yourself ways, was born with something anyone would be lucky to have. A loving family, and unconditional happiness. Growing up with an inconsiderate but lovable twin sister, and another older, more mature sister, she had an amazing life.
When she got to High School, things just got better and better. She had the good grades, the awesome friends, and the hunky boyfriend. But when one big mistake tears her family apart and rocks her world, there's nothing she can do about it. And with that, her happiness vanished.
Now, 4 years later, she's returning to the same town, where her heart was so easily broken.
But she isn't ready to forgive. Not yet.
Now, Mika has a plan. A plan to make the one person who broke her heart regret everything they did to her and her family.
Oh, revenge is a sweet, sweet thing. And little old Jax never saw it coming.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
