Marlene had one rule: don't get attached.

All it had taken was one broken promise, one betrayal, and Marlene swore to herself the only person she'd ever rely on was herself. That is, until Dorcas came crashing into her life. Crashing in at full force and imbedding herself so firmly into Marlene's heart that removing her would stop it from beating, stop Marlene from breathing.

And Marlene, always adapting, always rolling with the punches of life, quickly transformed the law by which she previously abided.

Marlene has one rule: protect Dorcas—no matter the cost.
