Years ago, Neo was just a quiet boy with hearing problems-until the day a stranger stepped in, saving him from bullies and leaving behind words he never forgot. That boy disappeared without a name, but not without leaving a mark.
Now, Neo is back in his home country-famous, reckless, and constantly in the headlines. Behind the spotlight, though, he's chasing a memory. The boy who once saved him. The one person he could never forget.
At the same university, Rowan lives a quiet life, far removed from his family's dangerous legacy. He wants nothing to do with power or fear-until Neo's chaos begins to pull him back into a world he tried to escape.
When fame meets fire, old memories resurface, secrets begin to burn, and two paths cross again... but not the way either expected.

In the underworld of Italy's most feared mafia, Ian Romero is a king - ruthless, cold, and untouchable. Molded by a father who showed no love, only control, Ian was raised to lead with an iron fist, not feel with a fragile heart. That is, until one mission throws him into the path of a mysterious, dangerous man named Alexander Volkov. Alexander is no ordinary stranger. With a sharp mind, a body carved by war, and eyes that see too much, he pierces straight through Ian's armor. Their connection is instant, raw, and terrifying. Ian wants to hate him.

However, that is until one day one of Tee's friends swears that he saw Tee on the other side of campus, at the same time as when Tee was off campus sitting near a lake?
