Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance Love isn't a moment. It's a lifetime of choosing each other. Ezra Vale never thought he'd be anyone's boyfriend-at least not in a real, committed way. Quiet, observant, and terrified of saying the wrong thing, Ezra has always watched other people navigate relationships from a safe distance. But when he meets Aria Monroe, bright-hearted and intuitive, he finds himself wanting to try... really try. Told entirely from Ezra's point of view, Boyfriend follows one year in their growing relationship-twelve months of milestones, mistakes, and moments that change them both. Ezra learns quickly that love isn't just the soft, warm parts. It's moving in together and realizing he needs space. It's the first fight he didn't mean to start. The first "I love you" he's terrified to say. The heartbreak he never expected to cause. And the break he wishes he could undo. Through his friends' guidance, his brother's tough honesty, and Aria's gentle patience, Ezra confronts the fears he's always avoided-emotional vulnerability, family wounds, the pressure to "be a man," and the constant worry that he's not enough. This is a story of learning how to love out loud. How to choose someone every day. How to become a boyfriend-not just in name, but in action. By the end of the year, Ezra isn't perfect.

She was my best friend I loved her and we were happy until that Saturday happened. Everything changed. Memories became imaginations and dreams.

Aurelia Nyx is a self-declared commitment-phobe. She's allergic to labels, emotionally unavailable, and has ghosted more people than she's actually dated. Love? Please. That's for people who enjoy crying in public and sharing fries. But the universe (and possibly karma) has other plans. After a wildly unfortunate game of Truth or Dare, Aurelia ends up caught in a whirlwind of romantic chaos with not one, not two, but five very different guys-and unfortunately, she kinda-sorta-maybe has feelings for all of them. There's: Faith, A rude and egotistical Matric working back stage in the play she's in but behind curtains is soft and a tsundere type of adoring Thabo, Faith's brother-like bestfriend who knows of Faith's crush on Aurelia but can't hide his own feelings. Lego, Aurelia's close friend, they,ve been on and off for a year but even when they don't talk for months the tension stays as if it never left. Raven, An online friend from a near by Province, Sweet and Sassy. Just her type. And Praise, A guy that randomly appeared on her 15th birthday and has been the best present she could have ever asked for. Now Aurelia has 99 problems and they're all romantically interested in her. Worse, she has to figure out who's actually right for her-or risk losing them all. Oh, and maybe fix her fear of commitment while she's at it. No pressure.
