Description

He stumbles through your window, a ghost from the hallway now a bleeding secret in your bedroom. Liam Wilder, your older brother's best friend, the boy you've crushed on from afar for years, is no longer just the charming guy next door. He's a man with a split lip, a bruised eye, and a dangerous secret he can only trust you with. To protect his family from crippling debt, Liam has been fighting in a brutal underground ring, a world he's desperately tried to hide from everyone, especially your brother. But now, he's at your mercy, his raw vulnerability shattering the careful 'little sister' boundary he always maintained. As you patch up his wounds in the dead of night, the space between you crackles with forbidden tension. Every stolen glance and accidental touch pulls you deeper into his perilous life, forcing you both to confront whether you're willing to risk everything—including your brother's heart—for a love that could either save you or get you both killed.
