When the Light Returns

When the Light Returns He lost everything that made him believe in tomorrow. She's the spark that refuses to let him stay in the dark. Edoardo once dreamed of a future filled with purpose—until life shattered everything he thought he knew. Now, at twenty-six, solitude is his only safe place. He doesn't expect warmth, and he definitely doesn't believe he deserves it. Ella has spent her life trapped behind the walls of her family's control. On the edge of nineteen, she craves freedom, a life that's truly hers. But her chance at independence comes with one unexpected condition: sharing a home with a man who wants nothing to do with anyone. He's guarded, bitter, and convinced his desires are wrong. She's stubborn, bold, and unafraid to fight for what she wants—even if what she wants is him. When two broken souls collide under the same roof, silence turns into stolen glances, and distance turns into temptation. But healing doesn't come easy. Some wounds need more than time—they need light. "When the Light Returns" is a slow-burn, emotional romance about redemption, forbidden desire, and the courage to love again after losing everything.
