LANDON LUNA: College is finally over, and I get to go on a road trip for one month before I enter the real world. Yet, I never expected to see Everest signed up, and more than that, he requested me to be his partner for the trip. I've known Everest since we were thirteen, but he doesn't remember it. That's okay. I suspect the night we met wasn't a good one for him, and maybe it's best he doesn't remember. But now we are scouring across the east side of the U.S., and I'm starting to wonder if everything I did for Everest was in the name of something else. Something more meaningful. Something I should have understood sooner. Damn my brain. It takes me far too long to understand the proper context and even longer to grasp the meaning of my feelings. I might be in love with him. Oh, and I was diagnosed with autism a year ago, and I never told anyone. So, there is that. EVEREST PIERCE: I love him. I love Landon Luna without conditions. Without expectations. Without the need for more. And I love him with my entire heart. I wasn't the nicest person in high school. Not to anyone except the ball of bubbly sunshine. The one who waved at me every single day. But I was a goner the moment he said hello to me in my Junior year of high school when he was partnered with me on a project. Now, I need to figure out how to keep my feelings on lockdown through this trip. Because I find myself wanting. I want him, and I don't know that I am worthy enough to have him.

Book one of three of the Windsor Triplets Trilogy: THESE BOOKS MUST BE READ IN ORDER. Triplet One: Carter Windsor, the youngest. CARTER WINDSOR: THE FORGOTTEN TRIPLET. I'm a bit of a menace to society, and I thought I was fine with that until my parents threatened to cut me off if I didn't get my life together. Then I accidentally blurt out that I have a boyfriend already, but he's been out of town, which means, I have to find a fake boyfriend to help clean up my image to the media. So, I enlist the help of my tattooed rival, Alastair Knight, to help me because I hold something he wants--A chance to have his video game seen by a broader audience, and the name in my pocket, Asher Adair, becomes my golden ticket. But Alastair doesn't let me slide. He tells me I need to put forth what people call "effort" to clean up my image. I'd rather stick a fork through my eyeball socket, but what can you do? But then I realize I might kind of like working with Alastair and his two best friends. Then as more time goes by, Alastair starts seeing underneath the mask I wear. Because the problem is that I do care, but people don't care about me. I've been left behind and forgotten. I have a slew of insecurities, and I've never let Alastair see a single one in the five years I've known him. But they keep slipping by. I'm getting too comfortable around him. Then I realize that maybe the reason I kept toying around for Alastair's attention is because he actually does see me. He doesn't see everything, and he might not want to admit it, but he sees me. Yeah, okay, I think I have feelings for the tattooed video game boy, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I don't want him to forget about me, too.

You have no right to dictate my movements," she retorted, her voice firm. My grip on her waist tightened involuntarily.
