Eight cities. Eight balconies. Eight stories that open like windows—but also like wounds.

Balcones is a collection of short stories exploring love, betrayal, fractured relationships, postponed decisions, and secrets that are too scared to step outside. With sharp insight and deep sensitivity, Victoria Bayona captures intimate, unexpected, and beautifully human moments.

Each story stands on its own, but they all share the same tension: that single instant when everything might change—or collapse.

For readers who like to feel the pull in their chest and the sting behind their eyes.
