He was the thief. He wasn't supposed to fall in love with the light.
Ryan has spent his life in the shadows-running, hiding, surviving. But when a reckless job leads him straight into the path of Seb, a bright and open-hearted football player, everything begins to shift. Seb isn't just kind-he's sunlight in human form, and Ryan, for the first time, finds himself wanting something more than escape.
But secrets don't stay buried forever. As the lines between truth and lies blur, and the past catches up, Ryan must decide: will he keep hiding in the dark-or risk burning in the light?
A story of slow-burn love, trust, and the danger of being seen.
