The Other Side of Ordinary
In The Other Side of Ordinary, 18-year-old Elias Garcia has always felt like he lives under the weight of his own reflection. Born with a facial birth defect, he's been accustomed to the stares, whispers, and the feeling of not quite fitting in. Growing up in a small town, Eli was never able to shake the constant sense of being "different," and he doubts anyone could ever see beyond his appearance to the person he really is. Now, starting university, Eli is ready to keep his head down, focus on his studies, and avoid the social pitfalls that plagued him in high school. But when he meets Amara, a spirited and kind-hearted art student, he's caught off guard by her warmth and curiosity. Amara doesn't seem fazed by his appearance; in fact, she seems drawn to his sharp wit and gentle soul. For the first time, Eli begins to question whether he's truly unworthy of love and acceptance. As their friendship grows into something more, Eli is forced to confront his deepest insecurities and the walls he's built to keep people out. Through laughter, shared struggles, and small acts of courage, Eli learns that love isn't about being flawless- it's about being seen.

But to take it, she'll have to do the one thing she hasn't done in a long time: let someone in. And that might be the bravest- or the most dangerous- decision of her life.

When secrets from Elias's past threaten to tear them apart, Noah must decide-will he walk away, or will he risk everything for the man who has become his greatest temptation? ---------------------- Excerpt: Noah didn't know how he ended up in Elias's apartment above the café, but the heat between them was undeniable.
