Description

He showed up on your doorstep after ten years, a ghost from your past with a fresh scar on his temple and a desperate plea in his eyes. Miles, the boy who was your entire world, vanished without a word when you were fifteen, leaving a gaping hole in your life and your heart. You learned to live with the silence, to bury the memories of shared secrets and late-night promises under the cover of a new life. Now, he's back, no longer the lanky, carefree boy you remember, but a man forged in shadows, with a quiet danger coiled in his posture. He claims he never wanted to leave, that he's returned only to protect you from the very people who are now hunting him. Can you trust the stranger wearing your childhood friend's face? And can you deny the familiar, aching pull he still has on your soul, even as he drags you into the line of fire?
