They were two broken peoplebroken dreams and broken lives, both strong and resilient in the face of too much pain. They shouldnt have worked, shouldnt have wanted or needed each other. But they did, becoming fast friends at a time when friendship was dangerous for both of them. As Bailey begins to help Cal untangle the danger that surrounds him, theyll have to tread carefully because the only thing scarier than losing their lives is losing their hearts.
