Summary
Five years ago, Mike Wheeler destroyed the only person he ever loved with a rejection he told himself was mercy. Now he's an NYPD officer drowning in debt and self-loathing. Will Byers is Manhattan's art-world darling, brilliant and beautiful, hollowed out from the inside, slowly killing himself in ways no one bothers to notice.
When a Mafia money-laundering case turns Will into the only living witness, Mike is assigned to protect the person he once swore to cherish and then shattered with his own hands.
It was only when a bullet buried itself in the chest of the one he loved most that Mike finally understood how merciless fate could be, teaching him the meaning of love at the exact moment it demanded the ultimate price.
But can a heart that has been broken ever deliver mercy to the one who broke it?COMPLETED
