That is, until a fateful accident brings her face to face with the notorious Patrick O'Hara. With a violent temper, wily charm, and piercing emerald eyes, Patch is inexplicably determined to make himself a part of Callie's life, despite her initial unwillingness for him to be in it. He shows up every time she needs help, determined to save her from anything and everything -- but it isn't until dark secrets from her brother's past resurface that she begins to understand just what he's protecting her from... or from whom. As Callie is thrown into the dangerous world that her brother was part of before his death, she begins to fall for the dark knight that makes her question everything she's ever stood for. And Patch comes to realize that he will do anything to save the broken girl who put him back together -- even though, in the end, she is the only one who can save him.
