Felix Greyson thought surviving first love was the hardest part. Turns out, surviving everything that comes after is worse.
With university in full swing and the pieces of his life finally starting to fit, Felix never expected to fall so hard, so fast, for Ryuu Kurogane-the loud-mouthed artist with dragon tattoos, a messy heart, and a secret stash of charcoal sketches he never shows anyone. Together, they burn bright. Fierce. Unstoppable. Until one lie. One kiss. One betrayal too many threatens to undo everything they've built.
As friends become rivals, allies shift, and the past refuses to stay buried, Felix and Ryuu are forced to confront the truth they've both been running from: love alone isn't always enough.
But when the lines between love and loyalty blur, when trust is shattered and hearts are on the line-will either of them be brave enough to fight for what they still could be?
TEMPTED is a slow-burn, emotionally charged, angst-laced rollercoaster about first love, heartbreak, and what it means to choose someone-again and again-even when it hurts. For fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and Heartstopper, this is the story of two boys learning how to stay when it would be easier to walk away.
