She was the wild card he never expected.
Theodore Steele owes everything to the Grantham Family. They brought him in when he had nothing, and in return, he took it upon himself to protect their young mafia princess. Despite their thirteen-year age gap, she's always been his best friend, the most important person in his life. But when it mattered most... he failed. Abigail Grantham has lived through the unimaginable. The man who hurt her is gone, but despite how hard Theo and her older brothers tried to help, it was never enough. Nothing could lift the fog of numbness or ease the underlying pain. After years of internal torment and feeling like a burden, she ran away. Her disappearance all but destroyed Theo. And since then, he's made it his mission to avenge other innocents. For nearly a decade, he's grown used to a dark life of fighting in the shadows.
