I'm not planning on this story to be a crummy romance. I'm better than that, it will have action, peril, death, and romance.
~Note~ If deaths or sensitive subjects (rape, self harm, abuse) disturb you, I advise to turn this story away. Equally as well this story may have sexual content, if you are under the age of 18, please turn this story away.
