Love Me Harder

Eleonora has always lived in the quiet corners of life-head buried in books, heart carefully guarded, and a future mapped out with one simple dream: to become a teacher and build a life far away from the echoes of his past. But lately, everything he thought he understood about himself has begun to shift. Feelings he can't ignore. Questions he can't outrun. A truth he's only just beginning to accept.

And the last person he expects to be tangled up in it... is Alvaro.

Alvaro is everything Eleonora isn't-reckless, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. The kind of boy who lives fast, breaks rules, and leaves a trail of trouble behind him. He's also the same boy who once made Eleonora's life miserable, turning school days into something to survive rather than enjoy.

So when their lives collide again, older but not entirely changed, Eleonora knows better than to trust him.

But Alvaro isn't the same boy he used to be... or maybe he is, just hiding something deeper beneath the smirk and sharp edges.

What starts as lingering resentment and unresolved tension slowly twists into something neither of them can control-something raw, confusing, and dangerously close to love.

Because sometimes the person who hurt you the most...
is the one who sees you most clearly.

And sometimes, the hardest lesson to learn-
is letting yourself be loved.
