Blue

In Heath's world, DNA never meant family. Being alone meant staying safe, and loving someone meant preparing to lose them. So he learned to keep people at a distance, especially the ones he cared about most.

Except there had always been her.

A quiet, unspoken constant he never let anyone see. A piece of light he buried deep enough to survive on.

And when that light returned.. no longer small, no longer distant.. everything he believed about safety, love, and himself began to fracture.

As truth after truth surfaced, the shape of his heart started to change in ways he could no longer control.

Rue never knew the true shape of a family. She never learned what it meant to be parented, or what it feels like to have someone stay without question. But she understood friendship, how to build it, how to hold it, how to make it last.

Loyal, warm, and just chaotic enough to be impossible to ignore, Rue storms into Heath's carefully built world with no respect for distance or silence, following him like a lost puppy, talking as if she's known him forever. She fills his silence with a kind of light he never learned how to guard himself against.

Together, they begin to unravel each other in the gentlest way, piece by piece, truth by truth, learning not just who they are, but how to stay when staying has never felt safe.

And in the middle of everything they've broken and rebuilt, they start to understand how to love the parts of themselves they once thought were unlovable.

Hi guys,

So this is Book II of the nightsweepers series -that's what we're calling it until we find a better name-

Both books can be read as a standalone.

If you haven't read OPHELIA, take a look at it.
