After being forced to witness the brutal murder of his mother, Falyn was left traumatized and voiceless. At the mercy of his father, the Duke of Ramport and the man who ordered his mother's death, Falyn was locked away and abused for years. Nine years later, at the end of a long and brutal war, the human nation of Vrayna enters into peace talks with the Beastlands, with a marriage treaty as part of the terms. Rather than lose his precious daughter to the Beastlands, the Duke sends Falyn in her place, assuming that he will be rejected and killed. But Falyn isn't rejected. Instead, Falyn finds a new beginning, a chance to heal the wounds of his past, and a love he never expected. ***Finalist for New Community Novel of the Year on Tapas***

Rava Weston is the definition of the ideal son. He follows the rules, smiles when he should, and never causes trouble. His future is laid out-while he has just enough space to secretly chase his own quiet dreams of becoming a teacher, so long as he plays the role his parents expect. But when he's forced to attend a family summit back in Italy, everything starts to unravel. Because Gio Fontana will be there. Gio is reckless, magnetic, too rich for his own good. He's got cops who know him by name, and NOT because they're friends. His motorcycle is his greatest love, and rules don't seem to apply to him. He has a reputation that makes fathers lock their doors. Especially Rava's father. Rava and Gio, never gotten along as kids. But this time, the tension feels different. Darker. Hungrier. And as the days stretch on, Rava's perfectly safe world starts to slip through his fingers, because what's building between him and Gio isn't just dangerous. It's forbidden. It's electric. And it might be the first real thing Rava's ever felt. 🥇 #1 - gay 🥇 #1 - enemiestolovers 🥇 #1 - bxb 🥇 #1 - bl 🥇 #1 - bxblove 🥇 #1 - boyxboy 🥇 #1 - Italy 🥇 #1 - denial 🥇 #1 - angst 🥇 #1 - gayfiction 🥇 #1 - bisexual 🥇 #1 - gaycouple 🥇 #1 - mlm 🥇 #1 - slowburn
