Chosen in Daylight (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233401053)

For Kyle Mercer, safety is a fortress built from isolation.

After years trapped under the suffocating control of a manipulative ex, Kyle has learned the art of hyper-vigilance. He doesn't just watch the door; he prepares for the collapse.

Letting someone close again was never part of the plan.

Then he meets Sam Hayes.

Sam is an architect. A man who believes in foundations, structure, and things built to last. Where others see Kyle as damaged or fragile, Sam sees something else entirely: strength. Together they begin building something Kyle never thought possible. A life. A sanctuary.

But peace does not last.

When Sam's rising career attracts the attention of a ruthless corporate rival, and Kyle's past returns wearing the authority of a police badge, the life they're trying to build comes under attack.

The siege has begun. As pressure mounts and old wounds reopen, Kyle must confront the instinct that has always kept him safe: run. Or stay.

Because in a world determined to keep them in the shadows, Kyle and Sam must decide whether what they are building is strong enough to stand in the light.

Chosen in Daylight is a 79k words, contemporary M/M romance thriller about survival, trust, and the courage to be seen. It is the first book in a new series but can be read as a standalone, with a guaranteed HEA (and absolutely no cliffhangers).

*Contains mature themes and sensory, emotionally resonant intimacy.
