He danced like he was breaking-
And Kairo wanted to break with him.
Aiden Vale is a 19-year-old ballet prodigy hiding bruises beneath tattered sweaters and hope behind tired eyes. Abused by his father and forgotten by the world, the only time he feels alive is when he's dancing alone beneath the cold glow of downtown neon.
Kairo Delaine is 24, violent, tattooed, and feared across the city. He's a gang enforcer with blood on his hands and anger stitched into his bones. But the night he sees Aiden dance in the snow, something inside him snaps.
It's not love. Not yet. It's obsession.
A need to protect what is fragile and beautiful in a world so cruel.
But obsession burns fast-and Kairo's love is dangerous.
As their lives collide, Aiden becomes Kairo's anchor to hope-and Kairo becomes Aiden's shield from the world. But healing isn't easy when your love borders on possession. And leaving the streets isn't simple when blood debts and betrayal run deep.
Together, they'll fight through trauma, addiction, obsession, and violence in a city that wants to swallow them whole.
But even in the darkest corners of the world, there's a way out-
If they're willing to bleed for it.
A brutal, beautiful story of pain, passion, and redemption.
Because even broken wings can learn to fly.
