Vienna Born trusts no one, especially after the events that happened two years prior. Her brother Tucker ruined what little faith she had in men, and Axel who is Tucker's best friend, broke the Born family apart for his own selfish ways. Axel is desperate to fix everything he broke, but doesn't want to tell Vienna why they left in the first place.
But Axel lives a dark life and will do anything to keep that hidden from Vienna, but he has to choose which is more important; secrets or forgiveness. Vienna has to choose whether to continue her hatred for the two men or forgive and forget. That's the hardest pill to swallow.
