Winston gave up everything for love - his future, his stability, his sense of self. So when he walks in on his high school sweetheart betraying him, it doesn't just break his heart, it shatters what little he had left. Desperate to escape the pain, one reckless night sends Winston spiraling even further, leaving him with a life-altering consequence he never saw coming.
Jonathan has already lost too many people to believe in happy endings. Loss has carved him into someone quieter, colder, someone whose world has narrowed to one purpose: being there for his twin daughters. They are his focus, his reason, and the only light he allows himself to hold onto. There's no room for new attachments. No space for hope; or at least, that's what he tells himself.
Until Winston.
There's something about the wounded man that Jonathan can't seem to ignore. And Winston, despite everything he's been through, starts to see a steadiness in Jonathan he didn't know he was missing.
Two guarded hearts, one unexpected connection, and a chance at something neither of them thought they deserved. Because sometimes, healing starts in the most unlikely place; with someone who understands exactly how it feels to fall apart.

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️
"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.Complete
