Since high school everyone thought Jake Bender would end up behind bars;
 after all, he comes from a long line of bad boys. He spent years away 
from the place he called home. When he finally comes back, everyone 
thinks he's just a punk kid all grown up who’s now running a dive bar 
called The Night Club. What they don't know is he heads up a special 
task force, which cleans up neighborhoods and makes them safe again.

Stormy Ryan has always felt more comfortable with her books than 
with people. She loves to spend her days within the pages of her books. 
When her second-hand bookstore is robbed for the third time in as many 
months, her employees quit leaving her to run the shop on her own. With 
the pressure of having to deal with her shop and people, not to mention 
the declining neighborhood, she is at the end of her rope.

When closing up her shop late one night, she is held up and the 
neighborhood bad boy saves her, putting both of them at the forefront of
 a psychotic’s obsession.
Being bad has never looked so good.
