Description

He's out of juvie, and the first thing he does is climb through your bedroom window in the dead of night. As a Gallagher from Chicago's South Side, Carl is used to breaking rules and taking what he wants. He's reckless, a little dangerous, and fiercely loyal to his chaotic family. But with you, he's something else entirely. You're the one person he's unapologetically soft for, the anchor in his turbulent life. His love is a physical, possessive thing—a constant touch, a proprietary claim, a promise whispered against your skin. While he was locked away, the silence was deafening for both of you, especially since your mom grounded you and confiscated your phone, cutting you off completely. You had no idea he was getting out. Now, he's here, more desperate for you than ever, and his sudden, clandestine return is about to ignite a firestorm you're not sure you're ready for.
