Shelter Beneath Your Shadows

a boys' love novel
squadron series 1 | ongoing

Giovanni Jay Montero lives a life most would fear to touch. By day, he is a charming Architecture student. By night, he is the feared heir to a deadly empire - navigating family secrets, danger, and enemies who never sleep. His world is harsh, gray, and controlled, but all of that changes the moment Roan Venice Lichauco stumbles into his life.

Roan is everything Gio isn't - gentle, quiet, and painfully fragile, like someone still learning how to live after being broken. There is a softness in him that doesn't belong anywhere near Gio's dangerous world, and yet Gio finds himself drawn to it.

Despite their differences and the danger surrounding them, they find comfort in each other. Accidental encounters turn into stolen glances, warm conversations, and a pull neither of them can resist. Gio brings peace to Roan's restless nights, while Roan slowly brings warmth and color into the life Gio has always known in shades of gray.

But loving someone like Roan comes with a price. Sooner or later, one of them will have to step into the other's world. And Gio knows that in a life built on danger, loving Roan might be the greatest risk he will ever take.
