Until You're Mine

He's always had everything… except control over his own life.Alec Dumont was raised in wealth, privilege, and expectations he never chose. Bold, impulsive, and used to getting whatever he wants, he's spent his life pushing against a future already mapped out for him—while still trying to figure out who he truly is.A trans man who has never quite found where he belongs.When he's forced to spend the summer in the middle of nowhere, far from the city and everything familiar, Alec expects nothing more than boredom and frustration. But everything changes the moment he meets Daniel.Quiet, guarded, and impossible to read, Daniel lives a simple life shaped by responsibility and sacrifice. He isn't impressed by money, doesn't fall for charm… and clearly has no intention of getting involved.Which only makes Alec want him more.What starts as teasing and persistence quickly turns into something deeper—an undeniable connection neither of them can ignore. For the first time, Alec is faced with someone who sees past the surface, beyond expectations… and through the walls he's spent years building.But wanting someone is easy.Facing real feelings isn't.Especially when those feelings come with differences that feel impossible to bridge… and the quiet, lingering fear of never being enough.Because some connections change everything.And sometimes, the greatest risk… is falling for someone who might break your heart.
