Asher pushed the wrong girl. Her brother is a mafia boss. Now Asher is pinned in an alley, waiting to die. But Kieran doesn't kill him. Instead, he offers a twisted deal: protect the girl Asher tormented, and work off his debt. Asher expects violence. He expects control. What he doesn't expect is the, cold, dangerous mafia, and somehow the only person who sees him for who he really is. As enemies become something else, Asher learns that the most dangerous debt isn't paid with blood. It's paid with your heart.

Two boys grow up side by side in a world that never quite feels safe, each carrying damage they don't know how to name. What starts as a fragile bond, half friendship, half survival, slowly twists into something deeper, darker, and impossible to untangle. They become each other's escape and each other's ruin, blurring the line between love and control. As the years pass, their connection intensifies, shaped by secrets, jealousy, and the quiet fear of abandonment. Every moment of closeness carries the weight of something unspoken, something breaking beneath the surface. Until the truth comes out. And when it does, it redefines everything they thought they were to each other, turning their shared past into something far more devastating than either of them could have imagined.

Two complex boys, infinite secrets, one mystery, one cabin. Will the tension be too strong to handle...? Or something more uncanny will dissolve...? - not finished - ; - on a break -
