City Lights, Quiet Hearts - A BL Romance

Kieran didn't plan to fall for anyone during his short city trip. He was just following his coworker's advice to step outside his comfort zone, explore a new place, and maybe learn to live a little. But when he literally collides with Ash on a crowded downtown street, everything changes. Ash knows the city like the back of his hand-every hidden corner, every secret spot, every story the streets have to tell.
He's charismatic, spontaneous, and everything Kieran isn't. When Ash offers to show him the real city, Kieran says yes to an adventure that will last until dawn. One night. That's all they have. They explore vibrant night markets and quiet riverside parks. They share street food and intimate confessions. They reveal their fears, their pasts, and the walls they've built to protect themselves. As the hours slip away and the connection between them deepens, both men must face a difficult truth: sometimes the most powerful connections come with the shortest timelines.
When fear threatens to destroy what they've found, Kieran and Ash must decide if one extraordinary night is worth fighting for-even when distance, uncertainty, and their own emotional scars stand in the way. City Lights, Quiet Hearts is a complete BL short story perfect for readers who love emotional depth, urban romance, and the magic of fleeting connections. Featuring a one-night encounter, strangers to lovers, emotional healing, and a hopeful ending that proves love doesn't always follow a convenient schedule.
