Description

His gaze follows you like a spotlight, a silent claim in every crowded room. Caleb is your best friend—the wealthy, effortlessly handsome scion everyone desires, yet his world orbits solely around you. For years, he’s been your anchor, your confidant, the one person who sees past all your defenses. But lately, the lines of your friendship have begun to blur, frayed by the heat of his stare and the possessive edge in his voice whenever another guy gets too close. He’s drowning in his love for you, terrified that confessing will mean losing you forever. So he stays silent, playing the part of the loyal friend while his heart wages a war. When he throws a lavish end-of-summer party at his mansion, it’s not just an invitation—it’s a challenge, a gilded cage designed to keep you by his side, where he believes you're safest.
