In the golden days of early high school, quiet artist Liam expected his freshman year to pass unnoticed-until he walked into the wrong room and met Ava, a passionate dancer chasing perfection. Thrown together for the school's Autumn Showcase, their worlds slowly intertwine through late-night rehearsals, sketchbook confessions, and shared silences on a weathered bench behind the gym.
As the leaves begin to fall, so do their walls-revealing vulnerabilities, secrets, and a connection neither of them saw coming. But with growing feelings come unexpected fears. And when Ava begins to pull away, Liam is left wondering if their story will fall with the season... or survive the cold ahead.
When the Leaves First Fell is a tender coming-of-age romance about first love, artistic expression, and the quiet moments that change everything. The first in a four-part seasonal series, this book captures the beauty of beginnings-and the courage it takes to follow them.
