Limerence is a heightened emotional state driven by romantic attraction, often marked by obsessive thoughts, vivid fantasies, and an intense desire to form or sustain a relationship with the object of affection, hoping for those feelings to be reciprocated.
Axel Parker is your average teen from the wrong side of the tracks. With no parents to guide him and an abusive aunt making his life miserable, he thought things couldn't possibly get worse. That is, until he crossed paths with Damian Anderson-the school's golden boy.
Damian Anderson has it all: charm, wealth, and parents who seem to worship the ground he walks on. To outsiders, his life is picture-perfect. But behind the flawless facade lies a darker truth. Damian has an insatiable need to possess whatever catches his eye, no matter the cost.
And his next obsession? Axel Parker.
