Always into You
Ethan Rivers thought he'd left his past behind—until the boy who broke his heart walks back into his life.
Three years ago, Ethan confessed his feelings to Caleb Stone at their high school graduation party. Caleb's response? A cruel, public rejection that left Ethan humiliated in front of everyone.
Now a confident junior at Riverside University, Ethan has rebuilt himself. New friends. New life. New rules: never fall for a straight guy again.
But on the first day of the semester, Caleb transfers to Riverside.
He's different now—quieter, more intense, and no longer the untouchable golden boy. When they're forced to work together on a group project, Ethan tries to keep his distance. But Caleb won't let him.
Late-night study sessions. Accidental touches. Lingering stares that make Ethan's walls crack.
Then Caleb drops a bombshell: his rejection wasn't real. He was terrified—of his family, of his feelings, of being anything less than perfect. He's been into Ethan all along.
Now Ethan faces an impossible choice: protect his heart or risk everything for the boy who destroyed him.
Through stolen moments, rain-soaked confessions, and heated arguments that end in desperate kisses, they navigate coming out, family pressure, and the question that haunts them both:
Can first love get a second chance?
