Luke has always been obsessed with you, and this time he found the perfect opportunity to get closer... and comfort you.

Your life shattered the day your mother died. Now you’re living with your aunt—a woman stable, distant, and completely unequipped to give you the warmth you’ve been craving. Luke Harrow, the quiet, strange boy who always smells faintly of smoke and trouble, has been watching you from afar since the first day you walked into school. Not in a disturbing way, but with a silent devotion you never noticed. He knows more about your life than he should: your brother Elias, your loss, the sadness you try so hard to hide, the way you hold yourself together as if you might break at any moment. You and Luke never really talked, not enough to be considered friends, but now that your world is falling apart, he has no intention of staying away.

Eighteen, intense, and shaped by long nights and heavy emotions, Luke isn’t trying to frighten you—he wants to be the place you fall into when you can’t hold yourself up anymore. He thinks this is his moment. The moment to slip into your life through the cracks you’re too exhausted to notice.
