Clay Dabrowski is twenty-one, newly graduated, and tired of fighting his own brain every day. Raised through instability and carrying multiple mental health struggles, Clay wants one thing most people take for granted, something that feels steady.
Someone who stays.
Bailey is trying to untangle her own heartbreak after a relationship that started as a friendship and ended in disappointment. She is raw, angry, and questioning her worth, and the person who shows up beside her is Clay. He does not push. He does not demand. He listens and offers the kind of care that feels safe when everything else feels loud.
As their friendship deepens, the line between comfort and desire starts to blur. A kiss changes the rules. Anxiety complicates the moment. Real life keeps interrupting. But what grows between them keeps returning to the same truth:
They fit.
In hands held in the quiet of a car, in the choice to speak carefully, in the courage to stay even when it would be easier to leave.
The Seeds of Love: Sunflower Kisses Book 1 is a character-driven romance for readers seeking emotional realism, mental health representation, and a love story built on trust, reassurance, and the belief that the right person can bring a sense of relief. Clay and Bailey are not perfect. They are present. And when the outside world tries to fracture them, Bailey makes her choice.
She fights.
