He thought he had his life figured out—until the boy he buried in the past walked back in. Dorian Keene was once the golden boy of high school—famous, feared, and cruel. And Caspian Vale? Just the quiet nerd with a birthmark... and a target on his back. But beneath Dorian's bullying lay a truth he couldn’t face: he was terrified of how much he wanted the boy he was supposed to hate. Years later, Dorian’s world is in shambles. Penniless, grieving, and sick, he lands a miracle job—working under a Tech Mogul who turns out to be none other than Caspian. Only this Caspian is powerful, untouchable... and very much engaged to a woman. Dorian tries to keep his distance. Caspian, for all appearances, is straight. But fate has a twisted sense of humor, and buried sparks are reignited—this time under the harsh light of adulthood, secrets, and slow-blooming desire neither man can afford. As Dorian’s hidden illness grows deadlier, and Caspian's mask begins to crack, a single kiss will force them to ask: Can a man who thought he was straight handle the truth of who he’s always been... before it’s too late?
