The Hearts We Choose* Liam Reynolds learned early that loving someone means risking their loss. He was seven when his father died in a car crash and eleven when his older brother, Noah, spent five months in a coma. Now beginning college, Liam wants to build a life beyond hospitals, grief, and his family's constant protection. Then three men change everything. Mateo Alvarez is gentle and dependable, but the weight of his family's struggling restaurant threatens the music-filled future he secretly wants. Julian Hart hides his fear of rejection behind jokes and a camera, determined to prove that the parents who abandoned him were wrong. Sebastian Vale is Liam's childhood best friend-the boy who disappeared without saying goodbye and returns carrying dangerous secrets about his controlling father. What begins as separate connections slowly becomes something none of them expected. Liam, Mateo, Julian, and Sebastian don't simply fall for Liam-they fall in love with one another, forming six unique bonds within one extraordinary relationship. But Sebastian's powerful father considers love a weakness. As threats, stolen photographs, family secrets, and old trauma close around them, the four men must decide whether fear will separate them or teach them how fiercely they are willing to fight for one another. Connected to *The Shape We Choose*, *The Hearts We Choose* is a passionate story about grief, healing, found family, and four men discovering that love doesn't have to be divided to be real. Sometimes home isn't a place. Sometimes it is the hearts that choose to stay.

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
