Dante Perez was on top of the world. Or so everyone thought as they looked at the young billionaire. Haunted by the memories of his past, he shuts everyone out of his beyond messed up life. It was all possible, until he met innocent Athena Williams who had her fair share of demons. Struggling to keep up a front with her parents and messed up boyfriend, she finds comfort in the arms of Dante. That was until his past came back to haunt them both. The last thing Athena expects happens; finding love in the broken. But is the broken capable of falling in love?
