He agrees to help Deanna especially since she was so honest about what was in the journals. How hard could it be to retrieve a few diaries written by a lonely teenager a long time ago? Marcus realizes that Deanna is exactly what he wants in a woman. The closer Marcus gets to Deanna the uglier life seems to get for her. He soon realizes that getting Deanna's books back is not going to be so easy. How is he going to protect her and love her and keep her safe all at the same time?
