What happens when you put together a girl and boy from opposite sides of the tracks? Obviously a romance. 
But what happens when you put together a girl who just wants to live her normal life and a group of men to protect her who know how to kill more than nurture?
A big problem. That's what. 
But maybe, just maybe, she can help them learn how to interact with people. And maybe, just maybe, they can teach her how to let go a little.

"I've never said I love you to anyone in a romantic way." I inhale sharply.
