Eleven years ago, Carter "Slash" Hudson was ready to end it all. Lost and shattered, devoid of hope, he was saved at the bell by the frankness of one little Cherub.

Back then, he swore he'd always put her first, even if that meant stepping away when she fell for his best friend instead of him.

At the time, it made sense.

Venom was the leader, with Slash willingly his loyal sergeant.

Until Lily is attacked again and Venom decides that he is no longer worthy of her.

Cast adrift, captive to past hurts and current betrayals, Lily leans on Slash. She moves in with him. He becomes her faithful shadow. Then a night of drinking, dancing, and deliberate provocation emboldens Slash to confess his true feelings.

Confused, Lily backs away.

Envious, Slash nurses his bruised ego.

Calculating, Venom makes an ultimatum that forces the stubborn duo into a marriage of convenience.

The woman Slash coveted from afar is now sleeping in his bed as his lawfully wedded wife. In the midst of chaos and carnage, can Slash make Lily see that he's always been the right choice?
