Authors Note

Lyza and Nico have been friends for as long as they can remember, their bond as natural as breathing. But hidden beneath every shared laugh, every quiet moment, is a love neither dares to reveal. Lyza is afraid her quiet, deep feelings will shatter their friendship, while Nico, who seems so fearless, secretly fears she’ll never feel the same.



Both keep their love hidden, convinced the other could never see them that way. Yet as life begins to pull them in different directions, they’re forced to confront the truth: if they don’t take a chance, they might lose the one person who truly understands them.



Lyza and Nico’s story is one of yearning, courage, and the journey to discover that sometimes, love has been there all along if only they’re brave enough to admit it.
