Tangled In Red

AJ lives in the shadows. He survives his father's violence and his mother's silence by staying invisible. His older brother, Miles, is his only shield.

Knox is the star of the football team. He's Miles's best friend. He's also the only person who truly sees AJ. At a party in January, Knox makes his move. He finds AJ captivating. He starts to flirt.

AJ doesn't know how to be loved. He only knows his parents' patterns. He pushes Knox away with his father's rage and his mother's coldness. He thinks pain is part of the price.

The clock is ticking. In this world, the Red String of Fate appears at seventeen. Miles and Knox have theirs, but their soulmates are still unknown. AJ's seventeenth birthday is in May.

Knox won't back down. He sees the "challenge" of AJ's defenses. He wants to show the black-headed boy that life can be sweet. As May approaches, the tension pulls tight. Will the string connect them, or will AJ's trauma snap the bond before it even forms?
