Some scars stay hidden. Some loves refuse to.✨

Tommy Brooks has always been good at running. From trouble, from his past, from the people who cared too much. But when a deal goes bad and a dangerous man with icy blue eyes saves his life, everything changes.

Adrian Ashford isn't just any outlaw. He's a high-ranking strategist in the Daggervine Syndicate, hiding sharp intentions behind tailored suits and a soft spot he shouldn't have. Tommy should've disappeared, but instead he's drawn deeper into Adrian's world.

Now, with the Syndicate hunting them both, Tommy has a choice: keep running, or fight for the only man who's ever made him want to stay.

[BOOK 2|READ ATELO FIRST] Dewey Price has always avoided people in general, cursed with an abnormality that makes being around others far from enjoyable. His life was relatively boring, days essentially full of the same thing. Famous mother aside, he's always been a relatively average person. That is, until the king of the Westhem comes knocking at his door, accompanied by someone that raises more than a few questions upon their first meeting. Now tasked with locating someone that there is hardly any information on, Dew's semi average life gets thrown into a mix of wars, mythical creatures, and government secrets. His already loose grip on his sanity threatens to disappear altogether. The fact the Captain Rowan Lux has a nasty habit of consistently taking up all of Dew's attention doesn't help, either.
