Kyle thought moving to a new country would be just another challenge to face, but nothing could prepare him for the storm brewing at his new high school. Quiet, reserved, and used to blending in, Kyle has always kept his distance from people. But everything changes when he meets Lucien, the school's elusive and impossibly handsome track star. From the moment their eyes meet, something shifts. Lucien's gaze is intense, almost too intense, like he's searching for something Kyle doesn't understand. The attraction is undeniable, but Kyle can't shake the feeling that Lucien is hiding something - something dangerous. As their paths cross again and again, Kyle is drawn into a magnetic connection he can't resist. But the more he notices Lucien's strange behavior - the way he watches him, the way he seems to know more about Kyle than he should - the more Kyle starts to suspect there's something far darker behind Lucien's perfect exterior. Is Lucien really just a mysterious jock, or is there something far more complicated - and dangerous - lurking beneath the surface? As secrets begin to unravel, Kyle must decide how much he's willing to risk for a love he doesn't fully understand, and a person who might not be entirely human. Underneath the Gaze is a slow-burn, supernatural romance filled with mystery, tension, and an undeniable connection that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime has been removed from Wattpad and is preparing for publication on Amazon. The first two chapters remain available as a preview. Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.
