When you've seen the worst in life, can you ever find the good?



RYKER



Every family has a fixer. The person who is always expected to solve every problem. Even as a kid, I knew the role I had in my Crowne family would force me to live a life in solitude, surrounded by people, yet alone in many ways. After convincing myself that I was fine on my own, I finally found my person. A man buried so deep in my soul that it broke me a little inside every time we connected. As I was always reminded though, my role was to fix others. Not become the one who needs fixing.



SHADE



For her, I became a fixer. But my nature has always been to destroy. I promised myself I'd always be there for her, even after she pushed me away. But even I can't deny that if she lets me in again, there's no guarantee how it will turn out. I could be her salvation mind, body and soul. Or on the other hand, I may just be the final piece in her story that finally pushes her over the edge of darkness. She shouldn't want me . . . But she does. Who knows, maybe darkness is where we both belong.
