Sixteen-year-old Kason Mills has never really been wanted. He's been passed around like baggage, from the mother he tried to save from her own battles with addiction and mental illness, to relatives who couldn't handle his outbursts, to group homes that labeled him "too much." When his mom dies, Kason finds himself once again without a place to land and a heart full of anger he can't seem to control. Armed with a duffel bag, a few broken memories, and a diagnosis list longer than his future looks, Kason is sent to live with his mom's identical sister, who can't stand who he looks like, and cousins who wish he'd stayed gone. Between his ADHD, impulsivity, and defiance, Kason's never been the kid anyone chooses to keep. But maybe ... just maybe...there's still room in the world for someone like him and allows him to believe he is still worth love, even if he feels broken..

And still helplessly hurt by what happened years ago, Valentina must learn to navigate life with the brothers that didn't believe her, a father who shipped her away, and a twin sister who hides behind a fabricated lie.

Graham Coleman has never been invisible. Everyone knows his name at school, on the field, in every room he walks into. They just never really see him. Raised in a house where attention only comes when something goes wrong, Graham learned early that it's easier to act like he doesn't care than admit no one ever cared first. Neglected, controlled, and always on the outside looking in, he's spent his whole life surviving alone. Everything changes when his father is arrested for fraud, leaving Graham with nowhere to go. With no one else willing to take him in, the call goes to the only family he has left, the older half-brother he's never met. Rhys Coleman wants nothing to do with his father's new family, or the spoiled kid he assumes Graham must be. But with emancipation only three months away, he agrees to let Graham stay... temporarily. Rhys doesn't want him. Graham doesn't know how to be wanted. What starts as an obligation turns into something neither of them expected, as two brothers with completely different lives realize they never knew the truth about each other. But some damage runs deep, and some people learn to be alone so well they don't know how to stop. A story about being seen but never known, about family that comes too late, and about whether love can fix what was broken long before anyone noticed.
