Loving You Is Forbidden

Murilo. Best friend since third grade. The one person who knows everything about him, except the one thing Hiago can never say out loud.

It’s senior year, and Hiago spends it doing what he does best: pretending. He pretends he doesn’t mind when Murilo flirts with girls. He pretends the jealousy isn’t there. He pretends his heart doesn’t skip every time Murilo laughs. But silence has a way of demanding payment, and when a school bully figures out his secret, Hiago’s careful world starts to crack.

When one impulsive kiss changes everything between them, Hiago is left with the hardest question of his life: how do you keep loving the person who can’t love you back?

The answer might come from someone he never saw coming.

A tender, emotional coming-of-age romance about unspoken love, loyal friends, and finding the courage to be seen.
