  Summary

  At twenty-three James Potter had it all—until he didn’t.

  Now he’s sitting in a prison cell wondering how it all went wrong.
  With the cold fingers of loneliness gripping his already broken heart and nothing but time for company, he wonders how he’s going to survive it.

  When a new cellmate arrives with the face of an angel and the mouth of a sailor, James starts to feel a shift in the tide, and questions everything he knows about himself.

  Can the hole in James’ heart be healed?
  Can he smooth the sharp edges from his prickly cellmate?
  And in a place like this, can two wrongs make a right?
