Ashton was the unwelcome reminder of his mother's affair, a constant target for the Adam brothers. Starved for love, and often of food, he grew up in the shadows of a family that never accepted him.

But fate has a way of rewriting even the most tragic stories. Just when Ashton had lost all hope, destiny intervened, setting him on a path that would change everything.
