Resilient Boys: The Boys of 221 sunset Book Three

Love isn't the reward for survival. Sometimes, it's the reason you survive at all.

Garrett's life has never been easy. Kicked out of his home, left to navigate cold streets and colder choices, he's learned to do whatever it takes to get by. Motel rooms paid by men he can't stand, food scavenged between bruised pride and empty pockets-he's built walls around his heart just to stay alive. But even Garrett has a breaking point. Even he feels the sting of disgust when he realizes just how far he's gone to keep surviving.

Leif insists he isn't broken. His quick wit and playful sarcasm keep everyone laughing-and keep them from looking too close. Because underneath the jokes and impulsive charm is a vulnerability he refuses to share. Letting someone in? Terrifying. But maybe... necessary.

When Garrett and Leif collide, sparks fly in all the wrong-and right-ways. The connection is messy, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. Love between them isn't simple, and it definitely isn't a fix. But it might be the risk that changes everything.

As they navigate trauma, trust, and the weight of their own pasts, Garrett and Leif discover that the family you choose can heal as deeply as it can hurt. And sometimes, the boys who seem the most resilient are the ones fighting hardest to be seen.

Resilient Boys is the raw, unfiltered third installment in The Boys of 221 Sunset series. Returning favorites from Enigmatic Boys and Boys Club bring humor, heart, and unexpected wisdom, as this chosen family grows in ways none of them imagined.

This isn't just a romance-it's a story about survival, vulnerability, and the messy, imperfect love that makes you whole, even when you don't believe you deserve it.

...you'll find yourself rooting for Garrett and Leif long after the final page.

Not every boy breaks the same way. Some keep rising. Some keep loving-even when it hurts.
