Damaged

"The most damaged, love the hardest." -Diana

What if you lost the center of your universe to rape and murder?
Kage Odonell was in this exact situation when he found himself holding the cold, dead body of a girl that meant the world to him. Needless to say, he was never the same again.

Two years later, he's still trying to find the psychopath who ruined his life. He's got a lot of clues, and he's getting closer to the truth... but not nearly close enough.

Diana Ackerman came to Seattle to escape a mentally abusive society and repressive parents.
She thought getting away would free her, would help her start fresh, but some wounds aren't healed so easily.

Love is non-existent on either of their mental lists, but what happens when Kage gives Diana self-defense classes and the latter is endlessly fascinated with her hot, moody teacher who is clearly hiding something?

Can two people who are both damaged in very different ways be the ones to mend each others?
