The Front Runner (Standard Edition)

Stefan Dalca’s magnetic presence is impossible to ignore, even if everyone in town seems intent on doing just that. With his chiseled features and dark, intense eyes, he’s the kind of guy who looks like he just stepped out of a painting—but the townspeople see only trouble. He’s made a name for himself as the local villain, stirring up whispers and glances as he navigates his complicated life.

Yet beneath the tough exterior lies a heart that remains hidden, layered with secrets and scars from his past. He’s grappling with his reputation while longing for connection but feels trapped by the weight of expectations. When someone unexpected steps into his world, the walls he’s built start to crack, revealing vulnerability he never thought he could share.

Amidst the conflict and small-town drama, the reader is drawn into a story of redemption, passion, and the quest for acceptance. As Stefan battles with his demons and seeks to redefine his place in the community, it becomes clear that there’s much more than meets the eye in this story of love amidst adversity.
