A Stand Alone BL Story
Ross Monroe has spent the past nine years haunted by regret and the memory of the love he abandoned. At 17, fear of his family's judgment led him to turn his back on Vaughn Rei, the boy who confessed his love. But tragedy struck the same day Ross walked away, leaving Vaughn gravely injured and Ross consumed by guilt. Now 26, Ross returns to his hometown, determined to right his wrongs and reclaim the love he lost. Stronger and braver than before, he risks everything, even his family's disapproval, to find the man who once held his heart. Yet, he isn't sure if Vaughn will forgive him-or even remember him.
Vaughn Rei Riego has built a life of success and acclaim, running a thriving construction firm alongside his brother. But behind the façade of a charming bachelor lies a man plagued by an inexplicable emptiness and fragmented memories of his past. When Ross Monroe approaches him with a modest project-a request to renovate his ancestral home-Vaughn is inexplicably drawn to the man. Despite his lack of memory, something about Ross stirs an ache in his chest. As their lives intertwine once more, Vaughn and Ross must navigate a fragile path between past pain and present longing, discovering whether love can truly bridge the gap of time and loss.

At the same university, Rowan lives a quiet life, far removed from his family's dangerous legacy. He wants nothing to do with power or fear-until Neo's chaos begins to pull him back into a world he tried to escape.
When fame meets fire, old memories resurface, secrets begin to burn, and two paths cross again... but not the way either expected.
