¿First loves weren't meant to strip you bare and leave you for dead.¿

It couldn't be true.
But it didn't matter now.
I was laying on my side coughing up blood.
Samson betrayed me.
Just another Sonny Boy trying to knock the Krause's down to their graves.


Static shakes my eardrums, a prelude to the consequences of my choices. Before I taunt myself to remember. One pummel after another, the abyss greets the conscious state, and I'm glad my soul at least finds safety. Areas of my body contract from the pressure of the punches, lips hum a song I only remember from childhood fear. A kick to the chest is one last attempt to cover my boyfriend's treachery.


Calhoun's life has been burdened by loyalty. To his father, to the family name, to his twin Kalonie. But another secret is being kept quiet, a passion that has proven to be even more poisonous.

As a second love approaches, Calhoun struggles to understand if it's his guiding light or the final nail in the coffin.
