Stolen Glances And Hidden Feelings
Stolen Glances & Hidden Feelings is a high school BL romance filled with slow-burn tension, angst, and heartwarming moments.
Elliot Carter has spent most of his high school life keeping his head down, blending into the background. With his beanie hiding his long hair and blue contacts masking his unique heterochromic eyes, he prefers to remain unseen—especially by Kieran Hayes, the popular, charming guy who never seems to leave him alone. Kieran has been tormenting Elliot for years, pushing him to the edge with his teasing smirks and relentless remarks.
But when an unexpected moment forces Kieran to see Elliot in a different light, everything begins to change. The teasing turns into lingering glances, the insults start feeling like something else entirely, and Kieran finds himself drawn to the boy he once ignored. Elliot, guarded and hesitant, doesn’t know whether to trust this sudden shift—or the fluttering in his chest whenever Kieran is near.
As secrets unravel, friendships are tested, and emotions run wild, both boys must confront the truth hidden in stolen glances and unspoken words. Will they find the courage to face their feelings, or will fear and pride keep them apart?
A story of first love, self-discovery, and the beauty of embracing one’s true self—Stolen Glances & Hidden Feelings is a journey through the messy, complicated, and unforgettable moments of falling in love.
