Flower over the Mountains | Book 1

Leo Alvarez was raised in a world where everything had a price and nothing had warmth. Quiet, distant, and unreadable, he moves through life like a shadow of what a person should be, carrying a silence even he does not understand.

Then he is sent away.

New city. New people. A life he never asked for.

And there, in a place wrapped in cold air and unfamiliar faces, he meets someone who is the complete opposite of him. Loud where he is quiet. Warm where he is distant. Alive in ways he has never been.

What starts as an inconvenience slowly becomes something harder to ignore. A presence. A feeling. A heartbeat he cannot block out.

But some lives are built on truths left unsaid. Some names carry weight. And some connections are strong enough to change a person... or break them.

This is not just a story about love.
It is about what a heart learns to do when it finally begins to feel.

And what happens when it beats for someone else.
