Elijah Monteverde grew up believing that love had to hurt to be real. That it had to burn, consume, and leave scars behind. After surviving a toxic relationship that taught him to fear his own feelings, Elijah promised himself he would never fall in love again. Love, to him, was burning red-beautiful but dangerous. Until Noah Calderon walked into his life. Quiet, patient, and kind in ways Elijah wasn't used to, Noah didn't demand love or force his way into Elijah's broken world. He stayed. He listened. He waited. And slowly, he showed Elijah that love doesn't have to hurt to be real. As Elijah learns to heal from his past, face judgment from the people closest to him, and accept who he truly is, he begins to realize that real love isn't loud or painful. Sometimes, love is gentle. Sometimes, love feels like home. Sometimes, love is daylight.

The son of her father's best friend and business partner. Once childhood sweethearts, both shared a bond that seemed unbreakable until Reed suddenly grew distant.
