The best lies are the ones you never let them see. The best disguise is the person you never let them meet. Brayln Varadi may be only seventeen, but he knows these truths as well as he knows how quickly people turn on you once they see who you really are. Fresh out of juvie and living on the streets is how Ryan Navarro, a family court attorney, finds him. Ryan knows something about taking in kids who have no one left. His older brother, Gavin, once took in both Ryan and Levi, who became another brother to him. More recently, Levi opened his own home to his younger half brother, Grey. Now Ryan finds himself facing the same decision. The problem is, Ryan and his wife, Karlie, have no idea how much trouble they are inviting into their home-or how Brayln will affect everyone in Ryan's family, including Grey. Life is about to become much more complicated for Ryan and Levi when trouble arrives wrapped in a confident seventeen year old who refuses to let anyone see how vulnerable he really is.

The thing is, Levi has never had a simple life. He knows what it feels like to be removed from a home after a parent is arrested. He knows what it means to feel helpless, homeless, and lost. But at sixteen, Levi found a home with Gavin and Nikki Navarro. Now, at twenty six, he's stepping into the same kind of role Gavin once stepped into for him. He's terrified he'll get it wrong, but Gavin is still by his side, and this sixteen year old kid needs Levi the way Levi once needed Gavin.

At seventeen, Hayden Keppner is already a master at lying, stealing, and pretending he doesn't care.

The plan was supposed to be simple: get close, get money, and never get attached. But Hayden discovers more than he bargained for. What was supposed to be a con starts feeling dangerously real, and the deeper Hayden gets, the harder it is to keep his lies from cracking. Because losing control was never part of the plan. Neither was wanting to stay with them. This book is about family and belonging.

I'm not a boy, but I'm not a man either. What I am is eighteen, standing in a truck stop parking lot, abandoned by a father who designed me to be quiet, useful, and too afraid to ask for help. Then a smart-mouthed contractor with a habit of bringing home strays looked at me and couldn't walk away. Lynk gave me a job, food, safety, and the first bed I'd ever slept in that didn't live above wheels. His wife, Kilah, gave me kindness, warmth, and an education I was never supposed to have. My father taught me rules that controlled me. Lynk taught me rules that protected me. The longer I stayed with them, the more I wanted to believe I could keep that life. A home. A family. A place where I'm more than just a tool to my father. But wanting it only made me more terrified of losing it when they learned the truth about me and my father. Then Dad came back. And he doesn't just threaten to take me away. He threatens to break everything Lynk and Kilah taught me how to build. I thought I was the one hiding the worst secrets. I had no idea my father had buried bigger ones.

Ryan Navarro traveled eleven hundred miles to the one place he swore he wouldn't go. Gavin left to escape their father's escalating psychological abuse and never came back. No calls. No explanations. Just silence, and a new life Ryan was never invited into. Now Ryan's on his brother's doorstep, bruised, furious, and nowhere else to go, wanting to hate Gavin and needing him anyway. Reconnecting should be simple. It isn't. Because the closer they get, the more the past resurfaces, and Ryan's temper threatens to burn the only second chance he's got. And Gavin is forced to face past mistakes and fears. But as the brothers push through the distance and the old wounds, they start to uncover the truth neither of them expected. They didn't just survive the same man. They became more alike than they ever knew. And their bond grew to depths neither of them knew they both needed. Will their fathers return ruin that bond, or strengthen it? This is a transformation story so you're not going to get perfect characters. In the beginning they are distant and this story is how they both change and grow together again. If you don't like seeing rough ugly characters in the beginning, then watch them change throughout this probably isn't the story for you. *Disclaimer this story does contain emotional, psychological, and physical abuse by a father.

"What are you staring at?" I ask. He cocks his head to the side inquisitively. "When is the last time you were punished?" Scoffing, I stand up, gathering my books. "I don't think that's any of your business." I say as I sling my bag over my shoulder. He tries to stop me from leaving, but I ignore his quiet calls of my name. I can feel eyes on us as he follows me out of the library. "Are you going to answer my question?" "I just did." I spit, spinning around to face him. "My punishments are none of your business." A slow smirk spreads across his face then. He steps closer to me, closer than he's ever been. So close I can feel his nose brush against mine briefly. He eyes me intimidatingly and chuckles under his breath. "I'm about to make it my business." ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚⋆ ˚｡⋆ Wren Walsh is in her sophomore year of college at Alverson University.

What We Make Room For is a quiet, luminous tale about healing, chosen family, and the courage it takes to be known. On a coastal campus where faculty live just steps from their students, Ezra Reyes teaches art with a gentle hand and paint-streaked fingers. His partner, Dr. Liam Reyes, a grounded and steady professor of social work, is a quiet force of calm in a chaotic world. Together, their home is a haven filled with books, warmth, plants, and an unspoken capacity for care. Then there's Cara Rowan. Twenty years old, intelligent, guarded, and unraveling. Studying pre-med and hiding more than just her exhaustion, Cara is barely keeping it together. She's been taking black-market pills to suppress the signs of her true classification as a "little," a label she's terrified to claim but one that explains everything she's spent years trying to erase. The pills help her appear strong. But they also steal her joy, wreck her body, and bury the very parts of her that once made her feel whole. When Ezra finds her sketching behind the art building-anxious, sharp-tongued, and too tired to pretend-he sees something she doesn't. Over time, and with Liam's quiet guidance, the three begin to form an unexpected bond. A slow, tentative trust grows between them, anchored not in obligation but in deep, resonant care. As Cara is drawn into their world of shared breakfasts, long beach walks, and a love that asks for nothing but honesty, she begins to question the life she thought she had to live. But healing isn't easy, and to move forward, she must face the shadows of her past and the truth of who she is. This is a story about soft rebellion. About becoming. About finding home, not just in a place, but in people who stay.
