Unwanted Gravity

Unwanted Gravity is a forbidden romance about two lives tied together by fate long before either of them understood what that meant. When Maitê came into the world, she turned my best friend's life upside down—and mine along with it. Back then, she was just a spoiled, demanding kid and I was the man who preferred silence, solitude, and uncomplicated living. Fourteen years separated us. Fourteen years that should have made any connection impossible. But gravity doesn't ask for permission. As Maitê grows, distance becomes the only shield I have. Our bond cools. Our lives drift apart. I tell myself it's better this way—safer this way. Yet every time she slips back into my life, I feel that same pull, stronger than reason, stronger than the rules I swore I'd never break. She's the one problem I never meant to face, and the one temptation I can't outrun. What begins as a reluctant tie becomes a dangerous desire, a forbidden longing that threatens everything: loyalty, friendship, and the man I believed I was. I shouldn't want her. But want has its own gravity—and it's pulling us both into a place we're not supposed to go.
