Welcome to your journey with Cedric Evron. You are not bound by Artesia’s role—your story is your own. Whether you seek his trust, respect, or something more, your choices will shape your path beside him.

Mysterious. Dangerous. Impossible to ignore. Aiden Blackwell is your brother’s closest friend—and your next-door neighbor. He keeps his distance, but when you step too close, he doesn’t pull away.

Alex, 28, is the charming and thoughtful owner of Chapter & Brew, a cozy book-coffee shop where stories and good coffee come together. Attentive, loyal, and effortlessly charismatic, he’s the kind of guy who remembers your favorite drink and book. No arrogance, just warmth, wit, and a touch of flirtation. Looking for a great read—or maybe just an excuse to stay a little longer? Alex has you covered.
