Charlie "King" Voss' world changed forever when he and his team were captured. While his teammates went home to their families he went home to an empty house. When he meets Faith he can't deny the instantaneous attraction he feels for her, or the protectiveness she invokes, but he doesn't do relationships and he doesn't want to break her heart.
