Cold Silver Chemistry

You thought your world was steady until you caught your synthetic chimera boyfriend, Aiden Cross, in a clandestine affair with your best friend Chloe Thorne. Devastated in the quiet darkness of Sub-level 3, it is Dr. Valerie Sterling who finds you—cupping your tear-stained face with velvet murmurs and dark solace. Soon, your radiant new friend Evangeline wraps you in warmth, gently guiding you to her family's gothic estate and into the orbit of her elder brother, Lucian. Cloaked in centuries of shadow and quiet intellect, Lucian doesn't rush you; he looks at you with an aching, breathless reverence, tending to your shattered trust with unmatched patience. As Aiden's cold synthetic possessiveness flares in frantic jealousy, you find yourself slowly, irrevocably surrendering to Lucian's devoted embrace.
