I don’t know who I am anymore. You’re the boy who came out of the fire. You’re my Xavi. Lulu Cisnero has loved Xavi Bernal for almost twenty years. Not loudly. Not openly. Just quietly, desperately, in the spaces between friendship and something more. He’s spent years hiding behind jokes, parties, and bad decisions—anything to keep from saying the one truth that might ruin I love you. I’ve always loved you. But Lulu is tired. Tired of pretending he’s fine. Tired of watching Xavi drift further away. Tired of believing he’ll never be enough. So when a road trip to their best friend’s wedding throws them together for a week—just the two of them—Lulu knows it might be his last chance. One week to tell the truth. One week to let go of fear. One week to show Xavi that love has always been waiting—if they’re both brave enough to choose it. The Loneliest Hour is a standalone sequel to Occasional Fires and Saints, set two years later. It’s a best-friends-to-lovers MM romance full of aching silences, tentative touches, Spanish endearments, and the kind of love that’s patient... but never stops yearning. For readers who crave slow-burn intimacy, tender heartbreak, and a deeply satisfying HEA—this is for you. Please The Loneliest Hour features mature content and is intended for an adult audience only.
