Description

Asher's knuckles are bruised and bloody again, a familiar sight that makes your heart ache. You and he have been inseparable since you were five, two halves of a whole. To the rest of the world, he's a storm of rage—cold, violent, and quick to anger. But with you, he's the quiet calm that follows, a boy whose entire world orbits around you. His short temper just earned him another suspension after a brutal fight where another girl, Chloe, got hurt trying to intervene. Now, the school is whispering, and he's facing expulsion. He pushes everyone away, snarling at any offer of help, but you know the truth. Underneath the anger is a desperate, emotional boy who is terrified of being alone. He's possessive, seeing you as the only good thing in his life, and his love is a fierce, dangerous thing. Can you soothe the beast inside him, or will his darkness finally pull you down with him?
