'"It's nothing," the words awkwardly tumbling from his lips. A ridiculous crush. He wondered why he even cared about the boy he had only ever acknowledged the existence of once, a mere few hours ago.'
--------------------
Connor Bell lives alone with his older brother Noah. Life isn't smooth-sailing, but he makes do with what's given to him.
When Jamie Corbin himself, delinquent and chronic fist-fighter, is involuntarily partnered up with Connor in cooking classes, things are naturally not going to click.
Yet when Connor least expects it, he catches a glimpse of a completely different Jamie. Their hours spent together shed away his tough exterior, revealing a complicated and confused boy.
A forbidden yet untameable chemistry between them begins to flourish. Jamie falls for Connor's humour, and Connor grows an affection for the softness behind the rugged exterior, plunging the two into a fantasy-like romance that seems to fulfil the protagonist's every dream.
But what happens to other aspects of Connor's life when his good-boy image is welded with Jamie's dark reputation?
What happens when this idyllic romance is tangled up in an elaborate gang empire?
What happens when everyone around Connor seems to know Jamie better than he does?
