She was a broken angel that had the light beat right out of her.

He was the man responsible for her life, her protector ...

He never expected to fall for the fragile woman, with soft eyes, and lips that begged to be kissed.

He knew what she saw when she looked at him, a ruthless fighter, a man with a broken past, too far gone to be reached, sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness.

Still, somehow her light reached him, the innocence inside her called to him and the moment her soul touched his, he was tamed, ensnared in her love.

But love comes at a cost, and in this world, you pay with your life. With all the surrounding danger, he doesn't know if he can protect her. Not only from himself, but also from a past that refuses to let go.
