She leaves behind her past in search of this serenity, finding friends that feel more like home than any she's ever known.Milo has a gentle soul that's been hardened by the tragedies of life, forced to carry out the crimes of his uncle's "business". He has a plan to disappear and he can't let anything get in his way.But when the two of them come together, all their carefully laid out plans are thrown to the wind. Cool nature turns into heated passion and when secrets come to light, it seems that neither of them can have the futures they want -- that they need -- and still be together.
