Cold, vicious, yet respectful enough to stay out of trouble, Milo Marucci blended in with the crowd while he stood out like no other.

Running away from his family was never easy, but hiding in plain sight with his name spread across the world appeared to be; until they were after her, of course.

Sweet, innocent, yet ruthless if she had to be, Sterlie Adams was the embodiment of peace… at least until she found herself chased by men she’d never even seen before.
