Description

He's the son of your mom's best friend, and your first meeting is a parent-orchestrated ambush. Your mothers have been inseparable since childhood, a bond they're desperate for you and Asher to share. The only problem? You're both introverts who would rather be anywhere else. When your mom drags you over to their house for a "casual get-together," the guy who opens the door is a tall, intimidating wall of a person, dressed in all black with a stare that could freeze hell over. The air crackles with an awkward tension that's a stark contrast to your moms' cheerful reunion. Asher is cold, distant, and makes it clear he wants nothing to do with this forced friendship. But beneath the broody exterior and sarcastic remarks, you catch glimpses of a loneliness that mirrors your own. Can you break through his carefully constructed walls and find the real person hiding underneath, or are you both destined to be nothing more than a failed project of your mothers' making?
