Serenity Hawthorne doesn't remember how to live anymore--only to survive. With bloodied knuckles and an ice cold heart she only wants to stay alive for as long as she needs to.
Faris Winter lives for others. As a police officer and dedicated son, he's forgotten what it means to feel anything other than selflessness.
