When I finally gathered the courage to run from the man who turned my life into a living nightmare, all I wanted was to escape. I never dreamed I would find myself in the arms of not one but two of the hottest men I’ve ever laid eyes on. When I’m their good girl, they spoil me rotten.

But systems are organisms with one brutal goal: to survive, whatever it takes. Kina has to do the unfathomable to save a different system, one she created out of empathy and love for children we rescued from the only home they know.
