When Evan Hale's long-hidden relationship with the boy who once saved him begins to rot under secrecy, the arrival of someone who sees him clearly forces Evan to confront a devastating truth: sometimes the love that raised you is the love you have to leave. *** Evan Hale has always known two things: homes can break, and people can leave long before they walk away. Landon Pierce was supposed to be the exception. His neighbor. His best friend. His first love. The boy who once pulled Evan out of the wreckage of his childhood and became the only place he ever felt safe. But high school changes things. Landon is louder now-brighter, adored, claimed by the varsity world that wants all of him... except the part that belongs to Evan. What was once easy becomes hidden. What felt unbreakable begins to fracture. Then Aiden Reyes shows up-quiet, observant, impossible to ignore. He doesn't demand anything from Evan. He just notices. And for the first time, Evan feels seen without having to disappear. As jealousy hardens into lies and the past tightens its grip, Evan is forced to confront a truth he's been avoiding: The boy who once saved him may be the one hurting him most. And the boy he never expected might be the first to choose him freely. But how do you walk away from the person who taught you what love was in the first place?

▪️PARANORMAL ROMANCE▪️ "If only you knew half the thoughts that run through my mind where you're concerned Octavia." I noted how the grey in his eyes almost consumed the shades of blue. It reminded me of the stormy weather in the wake of the yearly hurricane storms that ravaged through the Caribbean. "Everyone is staring," I whispered nervously. "Let them..." he replied. **** Octavia is a young, mixed-race woman with the ability to see the exact moment of a person's death. If that wasn't enough to deal with, she has to juggle maintaining good grades while also trying to figure out where she belongs since the concept of her racial identity has always been a sensitive topic for her. Feeling out of place in the Caribbean, she decides to pursue a Masters in History at a university in Scotland, her mother's homeland. The moment Octavia meets Professor Graham MacAllister, everything changes. For the first time in her life, she can't foresee a person's death and immediately becomes intrigued, curious as to what makes him so special. Graham MacAllister is the youngest professor at his university. Due to his age, he has taken on a more brooding persona so that his fellow colleagues and more so his students, take him seriously. In all his years of teaching, he has never crossed the line with any of his students. However, things quickly become complicated when both Octavia and Graham realise that they're developing feelings for each other. Will they engage in the forbidden, or will they be able to keep themselves in check? 🔅Rated PG16: Contains thematic issues, sexual content, language and possible triggers. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image from artist Sin Jong Hun © All rights reserved 2023 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.
