A BEAUTIFUL KIND OF WRONG
BLURB:
He's a grief counselor who lost his own family.
He's an immigrant fighting for permission to stay.
When Owen meets Lucas at a small restaurant called Roots, neither expects what happens next. Owen is isolated after his family abandoned him for being gay. Lucas carries the weight of an entire family his disabled brother, struggling sister, and the constant pressure to prove they all deserve to stay in the country.
What begins as a chance encounter becomes something real. Between stolen moments at the restaurant and late-night conversations, Owen and Lucas find each other. But as they fall deeper, the world closes in.
When Owen's boss discovers their relationship and forces him to choose his job or Lucas everything shatters. Owen can't afford to lose his income. Lucas can't bear to be the reason Owen loses everything. They're trapped between love and survival, belonging and rejection.
Because sometimes permission to stay isn't about immigration.
Sometimes it's about whether love is worth fighting for.
