Lance has spent ten years running from the only boy who ever truly saw him. At seventeen, Romeo’s love was too overwhelming, too much—so Lance pushed him away. Now, drowning in loneliness and a dead-end life in Canterbury Futura, Lance escapes to a club in Londra Futura, where a familiar stranger with a killer smile and a purple jacket buys him a drink. Romeo is magnetic, dangerous, and still devastatingly sexy. But he’s also hiding secrets: a bipolar diagnosis, a prison sentence for dealing the infamous love-mimicking drug called the Violet Wave… and a family tie to Lance’s ex-girlfriend, Aina.
