Cyberpunk Heart

In Neo Milano, where megastructures block out the sun and survival is measured in credits, Luca Rossi shares a tiny apartment with his mother Sofia, holding onto pieces of their Italian heritage in a world dominated by corporate control. By day, he's a data entry clerk for CyberTech; by night, he dreams of something more than the dim existence of the low levels.

Everything changes when he meets Marcus Zhang at a charging station, minutes away from a fatal heart shutdown. In a world where every credit counts, Luca's impulsive act of kindness sparks something neither man expected: hope. But Marcus harbors dangerous secrets about the corporation that keeps them all surviving, and some truths, once learned, can never be unknown.

As their romance blooms in the shadows of the megacity, Luca discovers that the corporate world he thought he knew holds darker truths than he ever imagined. Now he must choose between staying safe in the dark or risking everything to bring light to the levels that corporate power forgot. But in Neo Milano, even falling in love might be an act of rebellion.

"Cyberpunk Heart" is a gay romance set in a gritty cyberpunk future, where love becomes an act of resistance, family ties run deeper than corporate loyalty, and the most dangerous thing you can do is trust someone else with your heart.
