The Cost Of Loving You

"In the realm of fate, the saviour rarely sees her own fall coming. Victoria Helson has spent her life saving others, championing women's rights, and pulling strangers from the brink. But when destiny finally writes her into the story, it's not as the hero. It's a sacrifice. Oscar Sebastian, heir to a fortune he never earned and responsibilities he never wanted, thought love was just another casual indulgence. Then he met Victoria, and discovered the one thing his money couldn't buy, the one thing fate might not let him keep. Some say God tests those He loves most. Others whisper that in every great love, someone always loses. This is the story of two people who dared to love anyway, and the heartbreaking question of whether redemption comes too late, or just in time." _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Content Warning: This book contains themes of emotional trauma, loss, grief, and scenes that may be distressing to some readers.

(BL)Capturing Blue

In the quiet corridors of an ordinary high school, Kin is the kind of boy everyone admires. Gentle, attentive, and effortlessly charming, he carries a reputation for kindness that makes teachers trust him and students adore him. To most people he seems almost perfect—handsome, soft-spoken, and warm. Only one detail unsettles those who look too closely: his eyes. They are dark, bottomless things, like empty space where light disappears. For years Kin has lived carefully behind that pleasant mask, patiently observing the people around him while searching for something only he seems to understand—a color he calls the “perfect blue,” a spark of happiness in someone’s eyes that he has never quite been able to find. Until the day he notices Sute. Sute is everything Kin’s polished world ignores. Quiet, withdrawn, and endlessly bullied, he drifts through school like a ghost no one wants to acknowledge. At home things are even worse; the boy is trapped in a life of neglect and cruelty, his parents treating him as if he were something disposable. Yet once—just once—Kin catches sight of Sute smiling, and in that fleeting moment Sute’s icy blue eyes light up with a brilliance Kin has never seen before. To Kin, that color becomes an obsession. Soon after, Sute vanishes. The police believe he has been kidnapped, launching an investigation that quickly spreads through the town and the school. Flyers appear. Teachers whisper. Students speculate about what kind of monster could have taken such a fragile boy. But the truth is stranger than any rumor. Sute was not taken. He was thrown away. And Kin was waiting. Behind the locked door of Kin’s quiet home, far from the cruelty Sute once knew, the boy begins a new life as the captive of the one person who ever noticed him. Kin calls what he did kidnapping, fully aware that the world would see him as a criminal. Yet Sute, for the first time in his life, finds warmth there—warm meals, clean clothes, careful hands tending to his wounds, and someone who watches him as if he is precious. Grateful and overwhelmed by the affection he has never known, Sute makes a vow that surprises even Kin himself: if this is captivity, then he will devote his life to it. To Kin. To the person who saved him from a world that never wanted him. But love built on obsession is fragile, and happiness that grows in secrecy rarely stays hidden forever. As detectives begin to close in on the mystery of Sute’s disappearance, other dangers begin to surface—people whose curiosity, desire, or cruelty threaten to expose the delicate life the two boys have created. Kin, whose gentle reputation hides a far darker nature, is willing to do anything to keep Sute by his side… even things that cannot be forgiven. Meanwhile Sute, once a victim of abandonment, finds himself tangled in a bond that is equal parts devotion, dependency, and something disturbingly close to love. In a story that blurs the lines between protection and possession, innocence and obsession, two broken boys attempt to build a fragile world of their own—one where happiness exists only as long as no one breaks down the door. But when the outside world inevitably comes searching, the question becomes impossible to ignore: Is this a rescue waiting to happen… or the only home Sute has ever truly wanted?
