Summary
Derek Hale wanders into a forgotten corner of the city one rainy night, drawn by the pull of cyber-jazz from a hidden stairwell. Inside an underground gallery, one painting stops him cold—and then the artist does.
Stiles Stilinski, with amber eyes, turpentine-stained hands, and an unsettling way of seeing right through people, offers something Derek has never allowed himself to want.
One encounter. One fragile thing.
And the carefully constructed life he’s trapped in—marriage, family, name—begins to crack.
