Choosing Azazel

Book one in Where Love leads Us

Azazel has gotten very good at pretending.
Pretending the divorce didn't break something in him.

Pretending the sudden arrival of a stepbrother didn't turn his life upside down.
Pretending that the constant bullying from the two people who once meant everything to him-Jeffery and Isaac-doesn't hurt anymore.

But pretending only works for so long.
So when a school project forces Azazel to be paired with them, there's nowhere left to hide.

What starts as uncomfortable silence and old resentment slowly shifts into something stranger-something almost familiar. The same people who once tore him apart begin slipping back into patterns they don't fully understand, and Azazel is forced to face something he's been avoiding for years:

Not everything between them is as dead as it should be.

Old wounds reopen. Old memories resurface.

And buried underneath all the anger, confusion, and history... something complicated begins to grow.

Something that might not fit neatly into friendship or forgiveness.

Something that feels dangerously close to love.
