    Summary

    This is a historical mystery woven around a love story.
    When Jere arrives in a quiet English village in the early 1900s, he carries a past shaped by secrecy, loss, and a family history deliberately erased.
    This is a story about what we protect—and who we choose to love—when the truth finally surfaces.

    Bojan leaned forward.

    He didn’t hesitate. Didn’t ask.

    He kissed Jere — brief, deliberate, warm.

    Not hidden, but not for an audience either. The kind of kiss that said I choose this, without needing to explain why.

    When he pulled back, Jere was watching him with something like surprise — and something else, steadier.

    “There,” Bojan said softly. “Now we’re even.”

    Jere’s mouth curved, slow and genuine. “I wasn’t keeping score.”

    “I was,” Bojan replied, lightly. “I like balance.”
