April Mansten: nineteen years old, blonde, beautiful... and also daughter to Mario Mansten, a renowned bounty hunter, and as badass as they come in the bounty hunting world.
Kellan Reed: twenty-three years old, dark, dangerous, and deadly... at least according to some. April's always thought of him as a complete and utter jackass. He's come far in the few years he's been bounty hunting thanks to Mario, the only father figure he's ever really known.
The two are polar opposites when it comes to their upbringing. April having grown up in a loving and caring home, until tragedy breaks it apart. And Kellan, who has been through foster home after foster home, the only stability he's ever experienced coming through the Manstens and the kindness they extended towards a troubled teenager. Mario was great to him; first as an adviser while he was in school, and later as a mentor as he eagerly embraced the bounty hunting world.
This is their story, one which is filled with deplorable betrayal, unspeakable heartache, and a fragile truce that blossoms into... love?

I really liked it. Can't wait for the sequel." -ccsmudge "The most favorite thing about this story is its unique plot. Even though it has topics like rejection which is very common but this story brings it with a twist. I love the way, the author just smoothly explains even small details with ease. The protagonist being blind has a strong personality with her weakness also. This makes the character feel more realistic than fictional and this is what I love the next about this story." -Caging_Dreams --- BEAUTIFUL cover by the lovely artist and awesome author @supernovass TRIGGER WARNING: Deals with mild emotional abuse.Complete
