Hidden beneath Adrianna's tall sturdy wall she's built up over the years, lays a horrifying secret. In the past, she's stuck to a bold attitude and convincing people she was okay, but she's no longer able to keep up this hard exterior.
Behind the fury filled, puppy dog eyes of Mark Adkins is proof of a weight that's been resting on his shoulders for quite some time. He's pressuring and has a notorious reputation for his bad temper.
When they start to notice the pain that they both hide, they find themselves with something in common, which is enough to bring them together. Temper or not Mark is much more passionate and caring than one would think. For once in Adrianna's life, he makes her feel comfortable and that's what scares her the most.
Once they realize that they need each other for moral support and comfort, the truth will slowly come out. Sharing this same pain is the factor that could make or break them. The question is, will the walls ever completely come down? Will the two ever be able to completely open up and tear down the chains locked around their hearts?
