Letters in the Rain - A BL Romance

Renji Takahashi has spent years keeping the world at arm's length, finding safety in solitude and his art. But when anonymous love letters begin appearing under his apartment door, written in elegant script and filled with intimate observations about his life, everything changes. Someone has been watching him. Someone who notices the way he tilts his head when he sketches, who sees the small kindnesses he offers when he thinks no one is paying attention.
Someone who understands his careful distance because they share it. As Renji searches for the identity of his mysterious admirer, he finds himself drawn into a tender correspondence that awakens feelings he'd thought safely buried. But when the truth is finally revealed on a rain-soaked evening in the park, Renji discovers that connection always comes with risk-and that the courage to be seen is the hardest step of all.
