At 19, Lucas Lynch is a gangleader in Manhattan who knows nothing but the streets. He leads his gang with ruthless precision, surviving in a world where trust is luxury. But when his rival, Richard Ruiz, sets him up, Lucas is arrested and thrown into juvenile prison.
That's where he meets Alex Bianchi. A 17 year-old former model whose name is all over the news after a scandal ruins his career. Accused of murdering his manager, and with even darker rumors spreading, Alex has nowhere left to go.
Unlike Lucas, Alex has a bright cheerful personality, always sticking by Lucas's side like a glue that refuses to be shaken.
But when they're both released on the same day, Alex changes. He became distant, ignoring Lucas completely. Suspicious that Alex was sent by Richard to spy on him, Lucas starts following him-only to turn the tables.
"Let me join your gang." Alex's only request.
From that moment on, their lives became intertwined. As their bond deepens, Lucas wants more than just survival-he wants freedom.
But in a life ruled by violence, love and loyalty are weaknesses, and a test that will challenge them. And when their enemies realize Alex is Lucas's only weakness, everything they've built teeters on the edge of destruction.
To live and love is Carpe Diem.
From the streets of New York to a reckless escape in Los Angeles, they fought their ways to freedom. But can they really seize the day when their pasts keep plucking their means to live?

Entangled Strings Of Fate
I grew up believing love was unbreakable. My parents adored each other with a devotion so deep it felt eternal-something even death couldn't touch. My childhood was sheltered, innocent, untouched by the darker truths of the world. I was wrong. Love doesn't always end gently. Sometimes it rots. Sometimes it turns obsessive, destructive-and leaves innocent people to suffer the consequences. I didn't choose to be caught in the aftermath of someone else's obsession, yet I pay the price every day. The answers I need remain buried beneath silence, control, and lies. I don't know if I can ever reclaim what was taken from me. I don't know who I can trust. And I don't know if the people I love are victims... or villains. But even after everything I've lost, I still cling to one fragile hope- That I'll find my way back to my family. That I'll survive long enough to uncover the truth. And that freedom is still possible.

Steered by unhealed wounds, they find themselves wrapped in one another. Whoever said you needed water to drown when love is hastily included? β€· MULTIPLE MCS COVER: _NAVYBLUEEE_Complete
