Kian Mercer is a nonchalant gamer, gym addict, and underground biker who treats affection like an inconvenience—until it comes from Aria Bennett. Aria is loud, golden, emotional chaos in human form, the kind of girl who talks too much, loves too hard, and climbs into his lap like personal space is optional. They shouldn’t work. He’s quiet edges and rough hands. She’s colour and noise and feeling everything all at once. But between late-night gaming sessions, playful roughhousing, clingy affection, and a moody black cat named Nyx who silently judges them both, they somehow build a relationship that’s part chaos, part comfort, and entirely impossible to ignore.
