***
Lyra Donovan has been through enough hell and then some; so she enjoys the more predictable things in life. A good cup of coffee, sunsets and the fact that she hates math. Love is something to be read about, watched from afar and another thing that will disappoint her.
Aiden Romanov was born to hell and brings it along wherever he goes. He likes his tea and playing dirty to win. For him, love is of little importance, it happened to others but it has, thankfully, avoided him. He is also really good with numbers.
So obviously, they meet.
