"What if the one line you swore never to cross pulled you straight to him? In the haze of desire and danger, they shattered every boundary, risking it all for a forbidden temptation they couldn't resist."
"The Lines We Cross"
Elias Carter lives boldly, unapologetically, and always on his own terms. A tattoo artist with a magnetic personality and a history of fleeting connections, he's never had to second-guess his charm-until now. His new college roommate is nothing like anyone he's ever met, and Elias is starting to realize that not every wall is meant to be broken down.
Aiden Jeong is reserved and razor-sharp, his quiet intensity hiding a vulnerability he's worked hard to protect. With his calculated demeanor and a quiet refusal to be drawn into Elias's orbit, Aiden is a puzzle that Elias can't help but want to solve.
"You don't scare me," Elias says, leaning closer, his grin teasing.
Aiden's gaze doesn't waver. "Good. Then you'll hear me when I say I don't have time for games."
As their lives become entangled, what begins as mutual disdain slowly gives way to an undeniable connection. Navigating the blurred lines of rivalry and attraction, Elias and Aiden find themselves caught in a world that doesn't always welcome their truth.
"You keep pushing me away," Elias says, voice softening. "But what if I don't stop?"
Aiden hesitates, his expression unreadable. "Then don't blame me when you fall."
In a world full of expectations, crossing the line can feel like freedom-or risk losing everything.
After a summer that changed everything, Lark and Sophie find themselves on opposite sides of a fragile friendship. Torn between loyalty to her boyfriend Liam and the undeniable spark with his sister, Sophie is drowning in secrets.
