Golden boy denial meets mafia heir obsession.
I’m a golden boy.
Aster’s perfect heir. The academy’s prince. The one everyone expects to shine.
One night in Saint Lucia almost ruined everything.
I buried it before anyone could find the cracks.
Then initiation begins.
The boy I buried walks into Evermourne Academy.
Cillian Ashbourne.
Mafia heir. Thorn. My new rival.
At Evermourne, Aster and Thorn don’t end up together. They end each other.
I can’t touch him without risking my family, my future, and everything House of Moon expects me to become.
I should stay away.
Every time I push him back, he only comes closer.
Every line we cross makes it impossible to go back.
And I’m starting to realize the biggest threat to everything I’ve built…
isn’t my rival.
It’s how far I’ll go for him.
