But Tyler's got secrets, some worse than others- all of which he finds harder and harder to keep from Colby.

TW: This book has a lot of descriptions of abuse and because of how often it is, there are no trigger warnings at the beginning of chapters. Take this as a warning for the whole book. --- Samuel never thought that moving out of his childhood home would make such a drastic change in his life, at least it wasn't supposed to.

A fake kiss with his best friend James was meant to be a harmless stunt to fend off a psychotic ex. But for Chris, it unlocks a door he was never meant to open - feelings he can't explain and questions he is afraid to ask. Determined to protect their friendship, Chris tries to bury his growing attraction. Yet James is hiding secrets far darker than unspoken love - secrets that bind them to a past neither can outrun. As Chris edges closer to the truth, he is forced to confront the horrifying reality: some kisses don't end with love - they end with betrayal, obsession and blood. As their lighthearted bromance begins to blur into something more, everything spirals into psychological warfare with the arrival of a third presence - one far more dangerous than they ever imagined. With trust fracturing and mind games escalating, it is no longer just about attraction but survival.
