Marc'Qwuan Reid is a 23 year hopeless romantic with a crush on his roommate, a woman named Jasmine. Their friendship was perfect until she took her first steps into getting over her ex. Now they notice new things about each other that puts their friendship to the test.

He loved her with a violence that didn't know its own name. She feared him with a softness she never meant to feel. He is a storm disguised as a man-lost, confused, desperate enough to move heaven and earth just to make her see the truth burning inside him. His obsession is a prayer, a curse, and a vow all at once. And he will break the world, or himself, before he lets her slip through his fingers. She, on the other hand, lives in ruins-trapped in a life that feels like a cage, unsure of what tomorrow threatens to bring. Yet the most terrifying thing is not the chaos around her... but the magnetic pull of him. The way danger feels like destiny when he is near. The way her heart whispers what her mind refuses to understand. Her fate is a closed door. What waits behind it-she does not know. Where will this path drag them? Is his presence her shelter... or the beginning of her downfall? Will she ever decipher the hunger behind his touch, the storm behind his silence? Will they walk together... or shatter apart? In the end, all roads lead to one haunting question: Is it love... or is it hate?
