Description

He's been your shadow, your protector, your childhood best friend... but now, Leo's gaze holds a new, possessive fire that threatens to burn down the walls of your friendship. As your next-door neighbor, Leo has been a constant in your life for as long as you can remember. He's the star of the school's soccer team, the guy every girl crushes on, but his world has always seemed to revolve around only you. He walks you to school, helps you with homework he claims is 'too easy,' and saves you the best seat at lunch. To everyone else, you're the perfect pair. But as senior year unfolds, his brotherly protection has morphed into a simmering, unspoken jealousy. He finds subtle ways to drive away any boy who shows you interest, his teasing comments now laced with an edge of control. You're starting to realize that his feelings run far deeper and darker than you ever imagined, and his greatest fear is losing you to a future that doesn't include him.
