Aden

Aden Grayson is the middle Grayson brother. Brooding. Quiet. A man of few words and fewer friends. He prefers solitude—except when it comes to one curly-haired angel who’s been haunting him for years.

Leila Hakeem runs her late father’s bar, holding it together one drink at a time. She’s survived more than most, still reeling from a traumatic attack that nearly broke her. But she keeps smiling, keeps moving—because what other choice does she have?

Aden and Leila are bonded by that night. The one that changed everything.

But does Leila know the whole truth? Or is Aden still carrying a secret she’s not ready to hear?

Will they fight for the happiness they both crave? Or will the past swallow them whole?
