Along the way, he battles the intrusive thoughts that threaten to pull him under, desperately trying to find a reason to keep going.

Althea stood at the doorway of the bridal suite, her heart heavy with a weight she couldn't shake. The dress lay on the bed, pristine and untouched, a cruel reminder of everything she had lost. It wasn't supposed to be her walking down the aisle, pledging herself to a man she barely knew. But here she was, forced to step into her sister's place.

She wasn't ready for this. She wasn't ready to marry him. But with every step she took toward the chapel, the reality set in. There was no turning back. And there, at the altar, stood Elijah. His eyes locked on hers as she approached, his gaze intense, unreadable. A faint smile curved his lips, one she couldn't quite decipher, but there was something in it that made her blood run cold. Satisfaction. He looked at her as if she were an object, something to be claimed. With each step, his smile deepened, pleased with what was walking toward him. He wasn't looking at her as a woman to be loved. He was looking at her as a prize, something that had finally fallen into his grasp. Althea's throat tightened. She couldn't turn back now, not with everyone watching. As she reached the altar, she realized the vows she was about to speak weren't hers to make. They had been written for her sister, and now she would speak them, to a man who had claimed her sister's life and was now claiming hers by default.
He’s the guy everyone loves—smart, kind, perfect. But behind the smile is something darker. The Golden Boy is a slow, chilling dive into the mind of someone hiding in plain sight. A psychological thriller that makes you wonder: how well do you really know anyone?

The wind howled through the broken windows, rattling the old glass like ghostly fingertips. Vivian stood in the doorway of the estate’s boathouse, staring at the dark waters beyond. The lake was still. Just like it was ten years ago. Damien’s footsteps echoed on the wooden floor behind her. She didn’t turn. “So this is where it happened,” he said quietly. Vivian exhaled, her breath trembling. “This is where I lost everything.” Damien stepped closer. “You didn’t lose everything, Vivian.” She laughed bitterly. “Didn’t I? I lost my sister. I lost my father. I lost you.” “I was never yours to lose,” he whispered. Her hand curled into a fist at her side. “No, you were just hers. Even now. Even after everything she’s done.” “She’s the mother of my child.” Vivian turned then, sharply, eyes gleaming. “And what am I, Damien? Just the girl who carried your grief for a decade? The one you confided in, leaned on, kissed like it meant something—but only in the dark, when no one could see?” He flinched. “You don’t understand—” “No,” she cut in. “You don’t understand. I didn’t come back to fight for you. I came back because I needed to know if it was my fault. If I killed her. If I ruined this family. And now I know the truth.” She stepped forward, close enough to see the storm in his eyes. “She’s not the victim,” Vivian said. “And I’m not the monster.” Damien’s voice broke. “Vivian, I never stopped—” “Don’t,” she whispered. “Don’t say it. Not now. Not when everything I believed in was built on a lie.” Vivian DeWitt was cast out of New York’s most powerful family after her sister’s death ruined them all.
