When the Sun Sets (Sierra Madre Series #1)

"Have you ever fallen in love?"

She has not. Not in the way people write poems or songs about. Love is something she doesn't quite understand because she has never experienced the feeling of it. What does it feel like to be loved and to be in love?

But if there's one thing that she loves... it's the sun.

She loves the way it lights up the world, how it makes even the most ordinary things look golden. The warmth on her skin, the soft glow in the late afternoon. It's the closest she's ever felt to peace... to love. In those moments, with the sky painted in orange and gold, she feels like maybe, just maybe, she's okay.

But she hates the sunset. Because as beautiful as it is, it means the sun is leaving. It means the light is fading, and everything she loves about the day slowly disappears into the dark. The world grows quiet. Cold. Empty. Lonely.

She loves the sun, but she's terrified when the sun sets.
