The Boy I Couldn't Have

At 18, Nathan has been secretly in love with his best friend Devon for years. But when Devon returns with his boyfriend, Ian, Nathan’s hopes are shattered. Desperate to hide his feelings, Nathan pretends to date Tommy, a charming café worker. The only problem? Ian sees right through their act. As Nathan and Ian grow closer, their fake romance sparks unexpected feelings neither can ignore. But when Devon suddenly comes back into the picture, Ian chooses to comfort his troubled ex, leaving Nathan heartbroken and ready to walk away. Then Devon’s shocking confession changes everything, and Ian must decide whether he’s ready to let go of the past. With old wounds to heal, family ties to mend, and dreams to pursue, can Nathan and Ian build a love that’s truly theirs? Or will their painful past keep them apart?
