Nothing seems more dangerous than the past.
Giselle Callahan is a strong and determined young woman rescuing young orphans from the threat of drugs and violence, all while confronting the traumas she experienced in her own youth. Years ago, Giselle was adopted by a loving couple who had just lost a daughter. Although she still has nightmares about her life on the streets and the shelter where she was abused, she is now in a better place.
One day, after university, she meets Rowdy Willburn, the leader of a neighborhood gang, a young man that is just as attractive as he is dangerous. The chemistry between them is immediate, and despite her efforts to stay away from Rowdy, Giselle joins his gang when she discovers that it is actually a brotherhood dedicated to maintaining the safety of the neighborhood.
Giselle becomes part of the brotherhood’s exciting adventures along her new friends and begins an intense relationship with Rowdy.
But Giselle struggles with her feelings, believing she will never be enough. Not for her biological mother who abandoned her, or for her adoptive mother who unconsciously wishes she could fill the shoes of her deceased daughter, Lily. So, when Giselle learns that Lily was Rowan’s first and greatest love, her fragile balance shatters, plunging her into a spiral of self-destruction.
Giselle will need the support of Rowdy, her adoptive parents, and her friends to face her demons, heal the wounds of her past, and find happiness.
Ultimately, Giselle and Rowan reconcile, and the couple moves to Georgia, where, along with Rowdy’s father, they establish a shelter to help young orphans find a forever home.
