Good can come from the ashes of tragedy. Aeryn Willoughby is proof of that. At least she tries to be. Her childhood read like a Grimm Brothers novel, but her mom was a beacon in the darkness. Until she was gone. After losing her, Aeryn made a deal with the devil. Freedom for her silence. Justice isn't always black and white. Tucker Baines knows this. Rules must be followed, and when they can't be, you bend them. As a cop, he's fully aware that things may not be as they seem, he just never expected that to be true of the woman he knows is his as soon as she meets her.
