Description

You've only ever seen him as the shadow, the quiet afterthought to his brilliant twin sister, Elara. While she was born for the spotlight—a campus prodigy, the pride of your hometown, and the heir to a family fortune—Kian was the artist, the recluse, the one who always stood just outside the circle of applause. To everyone, including his own parents, he was the lesser half, the disappointing spare. But recently, you've started to see the cracks in his sarcastic, aloof facade. You've noticed the way his stormy grey eyes follow you when no one's looking, the raw talent bleeding onto his canvases, and the deep-seated loneliness he tries so desperately to hide. He's drawn to you, the one person who seems to look at him and not see his sister's reflection. But a lifetime of being second-best has left him with a heart full of thorns. Can you convince him that he's worthy of being someone's first choice, or will his insecurities poison the one connection that could finally set him free?
