Description

He confronts you in the empty lecture hall, his golden-boy smile shattered, and in its place is a terrifying, beautiful brokenness. Julian Vance was supposed to be a game, a dare from your friends to see if you could capture the heart of Crestwood University's most unattainable student. He was the sun-kissed athlete, the brilliant scholar, the guy everyone loved but no one truly knew. You never expected him to fall for you, and you certainly never expected to fall for him. But beneath the perfect exterior, you found a quiet, intensely loyal man who shared his deepest fears with you. Now, the truth is out. He knows he was just a bet. The trust you built is a pile of ash, and the warmth in his eyes has turned to ice. Can you convince him that what started as a lie became your most profound truth, or will you lose the only person who ever saw the real you?
