Monserrat Series - He Was Already There

The ride was supposed to end when Raven "Rave" Monserrat handed back the helmet.

Rave was already a licensed architect, but the life he was building looked steadier from the outside than it felt. There were staff to pay, clients who paid late, and a manuscript on his desk that might never find a reader. Falling for anyone was nowhere on his list.

Ric Ledesma had classes to finish, motorcycle rides to take, and a future in architecture he was determined to earn for himself. Rave was meant to be another passenger. Then one question about a building turned into coffee, late-night conversations, and a place at Rave's table.

Ric never asked Rave to have his life figured out. He only asked for an honest chance.

But Rave had spent years learning to keep what mattered out of sight. As they built separate careers and a life together, he would have to ask himself: when does protecting love begin to make the person you love feel invisible?

Before the books found readers, before the business took off, before anyone knew their story-Ric was already there.
