Description

He was a walking storm cloud in the crowded university hallway, but the moment his eyes met yours, the thunder died in his throat. Jaxon is the campus mystery—a talented art student known for his sharp tongue and the walls he builds higher than the library stacks. He uses sarcasm as a shield and solitude as armor. Then you literally stumbled into his life, sending his carefully curated world into a spin. Now, he finds himself sketching your face in the margins of his notebooks, his thoughts consumed by the one person who saw past his prickly exterior from the very first glance. He's caught between his instinct to push you away and an overwhelming, terrifying need to pull you closer, terrified that the light you bring will only expose the darkness he's hidden for so long.
