Chapter 1 - Prologue

"Against All Odds: A Love That Defied Family Feuds"

For as long as they could remember, their families had been enemies. The Montoyas and the Alcaraz had spent generations locked in bitter rivalry, their hatred passed down like an heirloom neither side dared to abandon.

Yet, in the midst of this war, two souls found each other.

Jace Montoya and Eli Alcaraz had grown up knowing they were never meant to be friends. But fate had other plans. A chance encounter, a shared laugh, and stolen moments turned childhood curiosity into an unbreakable bond. It was a friendship that defied reason—a fragile thread connecting two hearts in a world that sought to keep them apart.

But the heart doesn't follow rules.

For Jace, friendship wasn't enough. Somewhere between secret midnight talks and reckless adventures, his feelings shifted. He tried to fight it, deny it, bury it deep where no one could find it. But love isn't something one can hide forever. And when Eli finally looked at him the same way—with hesitation, with longing—Jace knew they had crossed a line they could never return from.

Their love was a quiet rebellion. But the world was not kind to rebels.

When their families discovered the truth, fury burned hotter than ever before. They were torn apart, ripped from each other's grasp, forced to forget what they had found in each other. Years passed. Silence filled the spaces where laughter once lived.

But fate was never finished with them.

Now, as men, they stand face to face once more. The world had tried to erase them, to rewrite their story with tragedy. But love—real love—never fades. And this time, they refuse to let go.

This time, they will fight.
