Description
Alaric Vitale, plagued by a lifetime of anger, found solace only in his businesses and a clandestine gang that effortlessly commanded power. The tragic death of his parents catapulted him into a position of cold-heartedness, ruthlessness, and an insatiable thirst for vengeance-his world narrowed to the remnants of family and the pursuit of control. However, everything changes when... A pair of eyes captivate him. In stark contrast, Jasper Kingston, a reserved and brilliantly intelligent college student, guards his secrets behind a veil of quietness. With an affinity for solitude, his focus remains fixed on education, while a unique quality sets him apart-the captivating hue of his violet eyes. To deflect unwanted attention, Jasper conceals his gaze behind books and sunglasses. Yet, fate takes an unexpected turn one fateful night, exposing Jasper to unforeseen vulnerability. What unfolds when the shields Jasper relies on fail him, not against a threat, but rather a protector? And, most intriguingly... What transpires when Alaric's attention fixates on Jasper, unraveling a connection that defies the boundaries of their disparate worlds? Warnings: - Mentions of sexual assault - Lot's of cursing - Homophobic comments - Everything else, look at the tags!
