Julian Coleman has always lived in the long shadow of a dark past. His mother was murdered by his own father-a wound not visible to the eye, but one that gnaws at him, day in and day out. Sensitive, withdrawn, he carries more than just trauma; he carries questions. What is love? Who is he, really?
On his quiet, searching path, Julian crosses lives shaped by their own strange gravity-each person a universe of longing, confusion, and contradiction. Pain, the desperate grasp for meaning, and the suffocating weight of simply surviving in this world bring him to a quiet truth: the world may not be a kind place-but perhaps that's what makes it feel so real.
This is a deeply psychological tale of trauma, identity, and a young man's restless, aching quest to understand himself.
Lucas's survival depends on silence and stillness. His new sanctuary is the stark fortress of Seth Russo, a man whose cold gaze misses nothing. Lucas's job is to be invisible, a ghost who cleans and obeys. But he soon realizes the greatest threat isn't Russo's anger, but his quiet, calculating interest. Every flinch, every tremor, is a clue that fascinates the dangerous man. Safety was an illusion, and Lucas fears he has just become Russo's newest obsession.
