❜ ─ I want you to know that I still care for you. Leaving you hurts me too, because you're home to me. I cannot leave you. ─ ❛
Rainara Daye Bayron has seen a demon before, and it saved her from her abusive father. At least, that's what she remembers. But to the rest of the world, that story is impossible. Mortals can't see demons, and demons don't save; they tempt.
With no proof, Rain was forced to accept the version the Angels created: she used demonic magic to stop her father. Since then, she's been branded a demon herself, and everyone keeps their distance.
Powerless to change how people see her, Rain begins to believe the lie herself...
Until she meets Cyron Red-a quiet, mysterious boy in a black jacket, lost in a world that isn't his. She finds him in the shadows of the buildings, and somehow, he sees her differently. With him, life doesn't just turn upside down-it begins to shine.
Together, in a world quick to judge and slow to understand, Rain and Cy find comfort in each other. Love. Trust. A reason to stay.
But when forgotten histories resurface and unfinished business from the past threatens to tear them apart, they must ask themselves: Will their love be strong enough to survive the truth?

First book 🏒.
Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan.
New country. New city. New campus.
And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it.
Her brother's best friend.
Her worst enemy.
And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University.
Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge.
He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older.
And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all.
They're not friends. Definitely not something more.
But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur.
And when hearts get tangled...
Someone's going to fall.
