The choice to survive

Yian Rhodes has spent his entire life doing one thing-surviving.
Raised in darkness, hunted by his past, and haunted by the blood on his hands, Yian learned long ago that kindness was a weakness and attachment was a death sentence. For him, every day was a battle, every choice a matter of life and death. Survival was never a goal. It was an instinct.
Then he met Jace Keller.
A brilliant young doctor from a wealthy family, Jace is everything Yian is not-warm, compassionate, and determined to save people no matter the cost. Behind his gentle smile and calm demeanor, however, lies a loneliness as deep as Yian's own and secrets capable of destroying everything he has built.
When fate forces their worlds to collide, an unlikely bond begins to form between a man who only knows how to survive and a man who cannot stop trying to save others.
But some wounds run too deep.
As buried truths emerge, enemies close in, and the line between protector and monster begins to blur, Yian and Jace must decide how far they are willing to go for each other. In a world where trust can kill and love can be used as a weapon, survival is no longer the only thing at stake.
Because for the first time in his life, Yian has found someone worth protecting.
Even if it destroys him.
