Chad can't believe his luck when he finds her on Moanna Island, forty-five minutes away from the Center, only days later.Chad is drawn to Ryan's joy, even through the pain and grief life tries to throw her way. His lonely void begins to dissipate with every island adventure spent with her. He soon finds out what her secret is. But is it possible to start over and be restored? Even so, can Ryan except Chad's horrible, even criminal past? Can their crazy worlds ever fit together once she finds out he is the sole heir to the Cusher Empire?
