Greyson Hunt spent his life in survival mode. The Barnetts did not stand for those that were weak. He learned early on to keep his head down and do what he was told. In doing so he became one of the Barnetts' best warriors and an assassin. When he was fourteen, he made a choice that nearly cost him his life, but he gained his freedom. Now working as a spy for Lord Isaac to bring down the people that turned him into a monster, Greyson delivers news that affects Isaac's family. While delivering the news, Greyson meets the most infuriating girl who turned out to be the very person that the Barnetts were dead set on capturing.
Alice Talford had been learning how to defend herself since the time she could walk. When she was eleven everything changed. Her Uncle Isaac brought the most irritating boy with him on a visit. They informed her father, Lance, that the Barnetts were no longer out to get Kyrie, but Alice instead. That day was the day that her training became more intense. Now that she was eighteen, Alice was given the Guardian Stone to protect. Lucky for her, she was a force to be reckoned with in the practice ring.
Greyson shows up at the Talford residence with news that the Barnetts are sending men to capture Alice. In order to keep her safe, Alice and Greyson are forced to get married and go into hiding. Greyson quickly becomes frustrated with Alice. She doesn't listen, fights with him constantly, and drives him to distraction, just like she did when they were teens. Alice couldn't stand how Greyson was so cold and unfeeling. He seemed to always be irritable.
Despite their frustrations with each other, they find they are undeniably drawn to each other even with Greyson's determination to keep his distance. The two finally fall into an easy routine where they aren't constantly at each other's throats. Pouring over the books her Grammy Anna had given her before Alice went into hiding, Alice quickly realizes that they hold the knowledge she needs to end the threat to her life. Just when Alice and Greyson thought that they had all the pieces to destroy the Stone, the Barnetts managed to steal away one of the key elements leaving Alice's life in complete chaos. Now what do they do?
