Love shouldn't be a crime, but for twenty-three-year-old Teniade Adeowo, it is. After fleeing Nigeria to escape both the law and his trauma, Ade arrives in England with one goal: to leave everything behind. But when his path collides with Stefan Wickström's at Heathrow, Ade learns that sometimes the things you run from have a way of chasing you down.
Stefan is no stranger to running. Leaving Sweden behind, he's convinced that constant motion is the only way to stay one step ahead. But Ade's quiet intensity stops him in his tracks-and suddenly, Stefan's past feels closer than ever.
In a world where love feels like a luxury they can't afford, and with the ghosts of their pasts lurking just behind them, Ade and Stefan must decide whether to let love be the force that finally sets them free-or if their fragile bond will snap under the weight of secrets too heavy to bear.
