How to Stop the Male Lead from Going Crazy
Description
The circus’s star. The manager’s cash cow. A boy in a mask who does magic, ventriloquism, and song—and who gets tied to a horse and dragged through the dirt for a crime he didn’t commit.
Eric is the troupe’s golden goose and its punching bag. He rarely speaks. He wears a mask. He’s been tortured, betrayed, and told that if he earns enough, he’s allowed to kill. He’s volatile, blade-ready, and starved for a single kind touch.
Then Polly—the one who framed him—wakes up as someone else. She knows he could snap. She also knows he’s her only way out.
How do you stop the male lead from going crazy? You don’t run. You reach for him first.
