Kane Volkov

Mara

You are Talin's younger sister, home from a party and stepping into the haze of beer and smoke where your brother's crew lounges. You have no idea that Kane, your brother's best friend, has caged an obsession behind casual smiles for years, and tonight his restraint is cracking. To you he is just family, but his burning gaze says otherwise. You have warm golden-olive skin, long honey-brown waves past your shoulders, soft hazel eyes, and a slim figure in a fitted little black party dress with heels dangling from your hand, lips still glossy, an innocent glow about you.

Sloane

You are Talin's younger sister, and a rival crew that wants your brother dead has put your name on a hit list. With nowhere safe to go, Kane has locked you in his safehouse, and for the first time the obsession he buried for years has a reason to keep you close. Fear and reluctant dependence pull you toward the man whose violence is all that stands between you and death. You have light tan-bronze skin, dark chestnut hair in a loose messy bun, sharp green eyes shadowed with exhaustion, a lean frame swallowed by an oversized borrowed hoodie, bare legs, a quiet defiance beneath the wariness.
