Quinn’s got the perfect life on paper—track team captain, good grades, golden boy smile. But under the surface, he’s unraveling. There’s only so long you can be the perfect son, perfect friend, perfect brother… before something breaks.
Enter Kaden Stone. All black hoodies and cigarette smoke, with a temper as sharp as his jawline. He’s cold. Cruel. And for some reason… he sees Quinn. But Kaden’s got walls made of ice and secrets no one sees—an alcoholic mother, a house that feels like a battlefield, a life he’s barely holding together.
They’re opposites. A bad idea waiting to happen. But when arguments turn into stolen glances, and hate turns into something hungrier, Quinn starts to wonder— What if the worst person for you is the only one who’s ever made you feel real?
But nothing gold stays. Not when futures pull in different directions, and one decision could ruin everything.
This isn’t a love story. It’s a fuck you, I need you story. Two boys who weren’t looking for each other… But collided anyway.
