Major has learned to survive by listening.
Every slam of a door. Every raised voice. Every crash downstairs. In his house, paying attention means staying alive. But on one cold winter night, after another violent fight leaves home feeling more dangerous than ever, Major grabs the emergency bag he's kept packed for years and runs to the only place that's ever truly felt safe.
Dante's house.
What begins as another night of homework, music, and sleeping on an air mattress slowly becomes something neither boy has the words to understand. A playlist. A conversation. A lingering glance. The quiet realization that the person who's always felt like home may be becoming something more.
Night Lights is a heartfelt LGBTQ coming-of-age novella in The Lights Series, offering an intimate look at Major's life before the events of Blue Lights, Book One of the series. Tender, emotional, and deeply character-driven, this story explores first love, found family, best friends to lovers, healing from trauma, and the quiet moments that shape who we become.
Perfect for readers who love emotional MM romance, Black LGBTQ fiction, slow-burn relationships, literary contemporary fiction, and unforgettable characters who stay with you long after the final page.
Sometimes the brightest lights appear in the darkest nights.
