Elias never expected his life to change when his mum moved them into a new house. But then came late-night conversations, shared spaces, and the quiet closeness of someone who was never supposed to matter this much.

Jacob is everything Elias doesn't want to feel - steady, unreadable, and completely off-limits.

As the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur, Elias finds himself walking a path he never planned to take.

One step at a time.

✨ A tender, slow-burning M/M romance about growing up, letting go, and falling for the person you're not supposed to.

Step by Step is the first in the Step Series.

Perfect for readers who love slow-burn forbidden romance, found family and aching first love.
