One punch, and the world tilted off its axis.

Jackson Ramirez has always followed the rules-his family's, society's, everyone's but his own. Trapped in a life dictated by expectations, he buried his passion and silenced the voice that once made him feel alive. So when Kenzo Adachi walked into his class-blunt, intense, and always acting like he owned the room. Jackson couldn't help but feel . . . annoyed. Annoyed by his confidence. Annoyed by how he said whatever he wanted. Annoyed by how free he was. But Kenzo? He saw something else. He saw a bird trying to breathe through its cage. And Kenzo, the kind of man who lives by his own rules, was ready to go beyond the boundary-just to help Jackson learn how to fly.

To Caliber, Yolo and Trever weren' t just friends- they were everything. They were the people who made life feel bearable. But when their bond shattered, he was forced to seek shelter in a place that was anything but safe. Staying there meant confronting truths he'd buried, facing choices that pitted him against Redge- the one who ended up carrying the deepest wounds from Caliber's actions. Now, as he scrambles to undo the damage, Cali realizes the lines between right and wrong, regret and desire, guilt and something far more dangerous, are far blurrier than he ever imagined. And the question that haunts him most isn't whether he can fix what he broke- it's whether he even wants to let go of what he's been feeling all along. book cover by sereighn arts
