Chapter One: Family Dinner

A prisoner or a caretaker?

Murderers or misunderstood?

Turn them in or protect them?

Aine Lane finds herself in the middle of nowhere, stumbling across the Hunting Lands--infamous property of highly feared murderers. With no escape and no other options, she accepts the only deal offered to her in exchange for her life: stay--permanently.

The Shaw Brothers find themselves on the brink of madness and at the threshold of despair. When a fiery young woman makes an abrupt though accidental appearance, they grasp at the only chance to have a family.

Will Aine break under the chaotic, so-called "love" or will the Shaw Brothers be changed for the better? Is there more to their story than what appears on the surface? Will it even matter?
