The Sun Feels Wrong

Fear doesn't end when you escape. Sometimes it lingers, waiting for the perfect moment when your defenses are down. Then it strikes. At twenty, Ohm is already drowning beneath his alcoholic mother's debts, balancing university with long hours at a restaurant to survive. As if that wasn't enough, a modeling audition turns into a nightmare, and he is taken. No one even noticed for three days. When he's finally rescued, he returns with fractured memories, a constant sense of danger, and the knowledge that the man responsible is still free. As Ohm struggles to come to terms with what happened, two unlikely men step in: a cop who will not look away, whose steady kindness slowly turns into something tender, and a volatile ex-con with a protective instinct that feels almost parental. Truth is costly, though. And against a giant, protection is the real fight. A queer psychological crime novel with found family, trauma and morally complicated characters. Told from the inside out.
