Résumé : Nathan est un jeune homme comme tant d'autres, tiraillé entre ses désirs profonds et les blessures invisibles que la vie lui a infligées. En apparence, il avance, il vit, il sourit… mais au fond, il est rongé par une peur viscérale : celle d’aimer, de s’attacher, de s’abandonner. Les cicatrices laissées par des échecs amoureux répétés ont forgé en lui un mur de méfiance, une carapace faite de doutes, d’interrogations et de solitude. Un jour, tout bascule. Plongé sans comprendre dans un monde étrange, un univers illusoire où les lois de la réalité semblent s'effondrer, Nathan se retrouve face à ses propres démons. Dans ce théâtre onirique troublant, ses peurs prennent forme, ses cauchemars se matérialisent, et chaque détour devient une épreuve psychologique et émotionnelle. Ce n’est plus seulement une quête de sens : c’est une descente aux confins de lui-même. Mais au cœur de cet étrange voyage, il fait des rencontres. Énigmatiques, bouleversantes, violentes ou lumineuses, ces figures viennent bousculer tout ce qu’il croyait savoir sur lui, sur l’amour, sur le lien à l’autre. Chacune d’elles devient un miroir : tantôt déformant, tantôt révélateur. Elles réveillent en lui des souvenirs enfouis, questionnent ses certitudes, et font éclater ses défenses. Nathan devra alors faire face à la plus grande question de sa vie : pourquoi son cœur a-t-il oublié d’aimer ? Et surtout… peut-il encore apprendre à le faire ? Entre rêve et réalité, chute et rédemption, ce voyage initiatique est celui d’un cœur brisé qui tente de retrouver le chemin de la lumière.

"We can't do this," I whispered, even as Jamie's fingers traced my jaw. "Tell me to stop," he commanded, his grey eyes darkening with desire. I should have. But instead: "I can't." His hand slid beneath my shirt. "This is wrong." "Then stop touching me." "I can't." His voice was raw. "Every night I think about you. About this." When his mouth finally claimed mine, it tasted like sin and salvation. His hands gripped my waist, lifting me onto the counter. I wrapped my legs around him, and reality dissolved. "Right now, you're mine," he growled against my neck. "Even knowing what it costs?" I gasped. "Even then." What happened in that kitchen was unforgivable.
