Love's Algorithm

Elias Navarro has spent his life predicting reactions to survive. In an abusive home, every sound is a warning, every expression a clue. Outside, he hides behind routine-BS Chemistry, night shifts at a convenience store, and a world of formulas where nothing hurts and everything makes sense.

Then Adrian Velasquez walks into the store on a rainy night.

Adrian is a contradiction: charming but restless, smiling but sad, a variable Elias can't solve. He keeps coming back, asking questions Elias never lets anyone ask. Slowly, the silence Elias clings to becomes harder to maintain.

When they're unexpectedly paired for a university psychology project, their guarded worlds begin to crack. Elias fears attachment. Adrian fears honesty. Both carry scars. Both long for safety. And both find themselves drawn to the one person who terrifies them the most.

"Love's Algorithm" is a psychological M/M romance about trauma, vulnerability, and two boys trying to rewrite the rules that have kept them alive. Love isn't a formula-sometimes, it's the chaos that finally sets you free.
