He touches my collarbone, "why did he do this to you?" He gazed upon the faded scars that marred my skin.

Will the thought of her violent father ever end? Was someone or something the key? Travis was the striking male, the protector, the one in who was wanted by everyone, no surprise since he's come from a wealthy family line, but instead of becoming like his other brothers and sisters in owning the family business, he wants a different path, and path in which is unknown; a path in which perhaps someone could show to him. Paths will cross and stories will collide, an entire story filled with the romance and the desire for both people of just wanting to take a breath.
