Between Us (Parallel Hearts Series #1)

Two young boys, once rivals in academics, find themselves falling in love all over again.

But before love, there was pain.

Years ago, Eros left Gabriel without a word-no explanation, no goodbye. The wound stayed, hidden behind Gabriel's pride and anger. Now that they're in senior high, fate brings them back together... but not as friends. They become academic rivals, constantly competing, clashing, and pretending the past doesn't exist.

Gabriel thought senior high would give him peace of mind, but he was wrong. Every day, Eros keeps showing up-challenging him in class, teasing him, and somehow finding ways to remind him of everything they used to be.

What Gabriel doesn't know is that Eros made himself a promise: He will find a way to earn Gabriel's forgiveness, no matter how long it takes.

With persistence, humor, and unexpected sincerity, Eros begins to break down the walls Gabriel built around his heart, showing him that he's no longer the same boy who once walked away.

But as Gabriel starts to forgive and fall again, fear slowly creeps in. His father-a man with a homophobic past-can never find out about them. He knows the consequences if he does.

Between old wounds, hidden feelings, and a family that will never understand, they must choose:
Will they fight for love, or let fear win again?

A story about rivalry, forgiveness, and love that dares to come back-no matter how many times it was broken.
