Book Title Suggested by Jade Irish Santos
Book Description
The Chance for Us is a heartfelt story of love, courage, and the fight for acceptance.
Reese and Jamie, two LGBTQ+ lovers, are deeply in love but face the daunting task of revealing their truth to their parents-devout church leaders with traditional beliefs. As they navigate the tension between faith, family, and their identities, they uncover surprising allies, challenge age-old prejudices, and discover the strength of unconditional love.
This is a story about breaking barriers, finding one's voice, and seizing the chance to be true to oneself, no matter the odds. Will love triumph over fear, and can bridges be built between hearts divided by tradition?

I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Complete
