Sapphire - I had never seen a man as drop-dead gorgeous as Dylan. When his steel-grey eyes met mine, I knew I was in trouble. There was no way he would ever see me as anything other than Riley’s little sister. Fine, I am not ugly by any means, but I also know that with my blue hair and tattoos, most guys are turned off, and that doesn’t usually bother me, so why does it bother me regarding him? Of course, I would develop a crush on him. When he and two other teammates of Riley’s move in with us, I know I am in even deeper trouble. I swear, sometimes it appears that he is flirting, and what is with that pet name? There is no way Dylan is interested in me, is there? Dylan - As soon as her sapphire blue eyes met mine, I knew she was mine. Her brother Riley was my best friend and teammate, so I knew this would be tricky. It became even trickier when I moved in with them. It didn’t take long for Riley to figure it out. Between my flirting and the pet name, I gave her more or less gave it away. We hashed out our problems, but then she was attacked. Now her stepfather has sent people after her; he has no idea who he is up against and who he pissed off. No one touches what is mine, and I claimed Sapphire that night in the bar. My precious jewel is that, MINE! He will regret trying to harm her; they all will.

내 아들이 죽었다. 그것도 좁아터진 화장실에서 누군가에게 머리를 맞고. 그런데 사건 현장에 나타나 첫사랑의 아들이자 가해자를 구급차에 태워 휙 떠나버린 교장 남편. 아들이 죽기 전에 나에게 위로를 건넸다. “엄마, 울지 말아요. 아빠가 날 믿지 않아도 하나도 속상하지 않아요. 엄마만 날 믿으면 돼요...” 나는 아들의 장례식에서 남편 고성우에게 전화를 걸었다. 그런데 들려오는 건 고성우의 분노 섞인 목소리. “도겸이가 팔에 두 바늘이나 꿰맸어. 네 아들 때문에. 계속 이러면 집에 가서 확 패버리는 수가 있어.” ‘네 아들?’ 나는 피가 멈춘 아들 이마의 상처를 보면서 두 눈을 감았다. ‘그래. 내 아들... 그러니까 고성우, 내 아들이 죽었으니 너랑 나 이제부턴 아무 사이 아니야.’ ...
