14 parts Complete MatureThe summer of freedom was supposed to be Chloe's escape, a sun-drenched blur of late nights and new beginnings. That season peaked at a lakeside party, one electric rush that ended in a terrifying void. After one too many drinks, the world dissolved into darkness. She was seconds from a nightmare when a stranger intervened.
Luca wasn't looking to be a hero. He was just trying to enjoy his night when he saw what no one else would: a friend's casual kindness turn predatory. Not knowing who she was or where she lived, he made a snap decision and took the unconscious girl back to his quiet, empty house.
When Chloe wakes in a strange room, disoriented and panicked, she doesn't know who the calm, intense stranger across the hall is. Luca is a mystery-rescuer, kidnapper, or something in between? As the summer forces them into a strange cohabitation, a fragile bond forms beneath the weight of her missing memory. He sees the vulnerability she hides, and she glimpses the gentle heart beneath his guarded exterior. What starts as gratitude shifts into an unspoken understanding, an effortless rhythm between two souls never meant to meet.
But the real threat hasn't vanished. The truth is a shadow: the man who tried to hurt her that night was the one person she trusted the most, her own boyfriend.
Now, Chloe must confront the betrayal that fractured her summer, the debt she owes the boy who saved her, and the terrifying realization that some secrets follow you home. As the distance between them shrinks, she starts to understand that this summer wasn't about finding freedom; it was about finding the person she was meant to be with all along. What do you do when the person who rescues you is a stranger, and the person who nearly destroyed you is the one you love? The answer, she'll discover, is that sometimes the safest place to fall is straight into the arms of a hero.
