SEBASTIAN

Elena spent fourteen years quietly building a fortune inside the house she cleaned, and never told a soul. Her son left for the Air Force at seventeen with a crush he wouldn't admit to and a name nobody in that house ever really saw. He returns a different man — and Lila Daniels, who once thought of him as furniture, can't look away.

But wealth in this house comes with strings, and Lila's father has his own plans for what a match between their families could be worth. And Sebastian isn't walking back into this life uncontested — a woman from the world he actually chose is offering him an easier one, no explaining required.

With three days of leave and no guarantees, Sebastian has to decide out loud what he wants, and who. Sebastian is a slow-burn, class-divide romance about what people build in silence — and what it costs to finally say it.
