Book 2 in the My Boys series - After the birth of their daughter, Acre, Atticus, and Joey learn they have more than just the troubles of raising a little girl on their hands. Old acquaintances start showing up, gangs are threatening wars, planning a wedding, and secrets are pulling them apart. The one thing keeping them from ending it all is the little girl they love more than life itself.

Joey didn't mean to catch them killing someone. He was just going for a walk in the park. He didn't know he'd get caught. He was just going to turn around and leave. He didn't know they'd heard him until he felt something go into his leg. - Joey Walker is 19, quiet, a little awkward, and seriously afraid of his parents. Every day was the same process of waking up only to be hit and screamed at until he left just to get away. During one of his walks at the park he frequently visited, two men caught his attention and what happened next... Joey couldn't believe it. - ⚠️ Trigger Warning⚠️ This book is 18+ and handles mature themes. I can't tell you not to read it but if you do, that is on you.

Matteo was never the one people noticed first. He's smaller, quieter, more in his own head than in the spotlight. Most of his time is spent with his best friend Sierra and at home, where he's still a bit of a mama's boy - even if no one at school really sees that side of him. Noah is the complete opposite. Captain of the high school football team. Confident. Worshipped. Every girl knows his name. Everyone thinks they know him. To Matteo, Noah is just an untouchable star - someone who probably doesn't even know he exists. But the truth is the exact opposite. "Only Us" is a story about glances that last a second too long. About secrets too fragile to say out loud. About a love that grows quietly - between crowded school hallways, late-night texts, and a sky full of stars where, for a moment, it's just the two of them. Only them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: This story contains slurs, alcohol, drugs and stuff like that so if you don't feel comfortable about it then don't read it.
