Summary
Julian Hart doesn't do attachment. Nineteen, burnt out, and bitter, he's mastered the art of keeping people at arm's length. Sarcasm and sharp edges are easier than admitting how badly he craves connection.
Then Silas Vale walks into the café. Polite, charming, and far too observant, he doesn't flinch at Julian's rudeness. if anything he seems... fascinated. Always sitting at the same table, always watching with calm, unnerving patience.
Julian tells himself Silas is just another regular. But Silas has already decided; Julian isn't someone he wants. He's someone he'll never let go.
A tale of hunger and tenderness, obsession and denial -- where comfort comes laced with knives and love tastes like ruin.
