Diego Reyes was the golden boy - quiet, brilliant, and everything his father didn't understand.
Jett König was chaos in a leather jacket - sun-kissed and sharp, the kind of boy people warned you about too late.
They used to be inseparable.
Until they weren't.
Four years later, Jett is back in California - older, colder, impossible to ignore.
And Diego? He's still trying to hold it all together. For his dad. For his sister. For himself.
But some ghosts don't stay buried.
Especially the kind that text you in the middle of the night like they never left.
Especially the kind with blue eyes that still make your hands shake.
Whatever tore them apart never really left.
And when eyes meet again, the truth gets harder to hide.
Because eyes don't lie
