Ricca: You can't outrun your past, a mistake I learned the hard way. Stripped of the last piece of my innocence in the middle of the Californian desert, I waited for death. Then he appeared. My vengeful angel.



He's everything I'm not. He's everything I want. He's everything I can never have.



Ratchet: I will not let my past define me.



Abandoned by my mother as a child, I would be dead if it weren't for Jagger. He took me into the Heaven's Rejects and saved my life. Now I want to save hers. The superficial cuts and bruises on her delicate skin don't compare to the pain lurking in her heart. The pain I want to save her from.



Somehow, I will find a way to get through to her. Come hell or high water, she will be mine.
