When the City Sleeps
- a slow-burn romance that blooms between silence and storms.
Sophie never planned on falling in love-not with a city that never rests, not with the memories she tried to escape, and certainly not with Antonio Rivera, the man who carries secrets like shadows and paints with the kind of fire that could burn her walls down.
By day, Sophie is a quiet artist trying to find her place in a world that always felt too loud. By night, she listens to the hum of the city, letting it drown out the ache of everything she's left behind.
Antonio is the kind of man people remember-charming, enigmatic, and haunted by a past he doesn't talk about. When a chance encounter draws their lives together, neither expects it to last. But the city has other plans.
Through rain-soaked rooftops, gallery openings, secrets that break trust, and silences that speak louder than words, Sophie and Antonio discover that sometimes love doesn't arrive like a spark-but like a quiet knock on the door after midnight.
And sometimes, what saves you isn't the person who fixes your broken parts... but the one who chooses to stay through the storm.
