She needs someone she can trust to help her, and luckily, the perfect man walks into her life. Except he's not so perfect. He's not afraid to kill for her… Ryan Atwood lives to exact justice on the deserving, and there's a special place in hell for the man who stole everything from him. He's close to finding his nemesis, but he realizes he's not close enough when he meets Violet. He wants a future with her, but he'll have to take care of both of their pasts before they can be free to love each other.
