Caden Wilde runs hot. Dealt a poor hand in life, he attempts to tame his temper and watch out for his older brother barreling down a darker path. However, try as he might, Caden can't seem to stay out of trouble. Days after he turns sixteen, he winds up in a hole a little too deep to dig himself out of. But fortune takes a turn when merciful lawyer Mack Korver helps him out.

I used to cry all the time, then only when people weren't looking, but now I have no tears left. My heart was broken and I was working on putting it back together when I met Axel Pearson. So far he's a complete mystery and I'm scared of getting close, but I think getting my heart broken again just might be worth risking. Then maybe I'll find out why he's dubbed as a murderer.

That's why we're not heroes, because we've been abused and abandoned.
