Leo is a veterinary student â a hopeless romantic, disastrously sincere, the kind of person who believes in great loves without ever having felt one. Ăcaro is arrogant, magnetic, sharp as a blade, and entirely committed to never letting anyone in again. When the two of them collide at the reception of Alicia's wedding â she being Leo's best friend and Ăcaro's sister at once â neither of them is ready for what comes next.
What begins as one chaotic night and a kiss that never happens slowly becomes something neither of them has a name for. Leo falls fast and hard. Ăcaro holds out with everything he's got. But in Grande Sunshine â a country quietly sliding toward religious intolerance â loving the "wrong" way carries real consequences. And just when happiness finally seems within reach, the world outside decides to collect its price.
A slow-burn LGBTQ+ romance about two broken hearts building something brave together â and the moment it all comes apart.
