Jasper Kingston organizes his life around what keeps him steady: his education, simple routines, his violet eyes kept out of sight, and a small circle he trusts. Two years in New York City gave him exactly what he planned-an invisible existence. Well, that was until he was saved by the man who runs it. To New York City, Alaric Vitale is a detached and merciless businessman. Beneath tailored suits and sealed boardrooms, he's a ruthless kingpin whose authority is embedded in the city's veins. Everyone obeys him because they're simply afraid. However, it's made clear that Jasper isn't. What happens when power meets the one person it cannot intimidate? When resistance becomes the very thing that pulls them closer? As their pasts collide and secrets surface, they may realize that what was meant to keep them apart is only attracting them further into danger.

Seventeen year old Noah is a good kid. He's the kind to turn in his homework several days early, ace his tests, and still find enough time to hang out with friends. He doesn't hide the fact that he's gay from anyone except... well, the only people whose opinions matter to him. His parents, who're extremely uptight Christians. But they won't find out... right? Nineteen year old Isaac is a fearless sophomore at NYU who has nothing to do but party. He's the one stealing credit cards to use on five star hotel suites and gets his friends to do stupid things- living on the edge is his way of enjoying life. He knows how to get noticed in the crowded streets of New York City, where he meets Noah. But there's a darker side to Isaac that comes with his exhilarating lifestyle... Will Noah give in to Isaacs ways? And what will be the consequences? * on hold, needs editing *
