Beneath All That Gold

Sasha Velez has it all- money, power, a reputation that keeps everyone in line, and secrets buried deeper than anyone dares to dig. Being Luna Aurea University's queen bee means keeping up appearances, especially with strict parents and a student body that worships her. No one knows she's gay, and she plans to keep it that way.

Until Elena Reyes shows up.

Elena is everything Sasha isn't: poor, grounded, and too busy surviving her scholarship to care about designer bags or social circles. She's supposed to stay in her lane. Instead, she crashes into Sasha's world with scraped knees, quick wit, and a stubborn smile that starts to unravel everything.

Sasha doesn't fall. She doesn't even stumble.

But gravity doesn't ask permission.

As jealous rivals, unexpected friendships, and late-night conversations push them closer, Sasha and Elena will have to decide: protect their walls or risk everything for something real.
