    Summary

    You don’t need to have ever played Call of Duty to read this story.
    ❀❀❀
    Lenora has spent her life searching for a compass in the chaos. For years, that North was Johnny MacTavish — her best friend and greatest pain. She loves him with a silent ferocity, but that thread is thin, fragile. When Johnny promises to talk about their future, Lenora meets him at a club. There, she encounters Simon Riley. A man marked and numbed by his own existence. He’s only heard Johnny’s twisted version of her and starts off biased. But something about that girl shakes him: she’s sweet, a liar, fragile, and seems to bring him back to life.
    Between them, a secret bond forms, made of glances and lies. Two broken worlds brushing against each other, afraid to merge. The more they hide, the more the truth becomes a ticking bomb ready to explode.
    Simon always believed he could control everything behind a mask. But Lenora walks in without asking permission, shows him who he really is, and becomes his only chance at rebirth.
    A story of fragile loves, obsessions, and open wounds. Raw, melancholic, real.
    Because sometimes, to save yourself, you first have to learn how to lose yourself.
