Foster kid Arian Halliday lives life by his own set of rules: don't ask questions about his birth family, be a star student-athlete; and always do what's needed while respecting authority. For him, survival is all he knows best as he rarely trusts in anyone other than those in his social circle. In a way, Arian is satisfied with his life. But then comes the announcement of his birth father and his family wanting to meet with him for the first time. Which is funny since Arian was told that his father died in a car crash while his mother died giving birth to him. So what's a teenager in high school to do when he goes from the unknown shadows to being the heir of a powerful family? And what's he to do when his rules don't apply to his new lifestyle? But most of all, how can he adapt in a family full of surprising secrets that involve superpowers and hidden legacies? All good questions. With the assurance of his one and only friend as well as some new ones and a possible love interest, Arian's going to have to maintain his authentic self while understanding the new normal: money, haters, and all. WATTPAD EXCLUSIVE!

Sean Gillan's passion lies in his education, his work values as a part-time cashier at the family-owned general store, and helping out his grandparents at a family farm while being a faithful member of his church. He has little time for any frivolous and is certain that all he needs is in his small town of Central Georgia, despite his citified parents and siblings citing that he needs to get a life and get some air in his lungs. Sean has little time for anything other than what he needs, so much so that he lands in the hospital after passing out during his post-graduation party at church. Fearing that he was in danger of burning out and knowing that he wasn't going to survive long if he overworked himself, the whole family decides to ship him off to his gay uncle's home in Newport, Rhode Island so he could attend college there. Sean wants none of it, citing that he's fine with his small-town lifestyle. But once he learns that his grandfather sold the farm, home, and business and that he was to attend college up north instead of trade school in Adams Falls; Sean's fate is sealed. But then he's forced to join his adoptive cousins and uncles for some ice cream and meets two domineering young men fresh out of high school. And they...well, let's just say that they want to show Sean Gillain the TRUE meaning of having passion in his strict life. And maybe Sean doesn't think that moving to Newport would be so bad after all. He'll never know unless he gives it a try.

Jesse had been in love with Drew, the ever-so-charming ice king of senior school, since the beginning of Year 9 - it was just something about Drew's eyes that had drawn Jesse in and refused to let him go. It was now halfway through Year 10, and he still hadn't spoken to Drew. Not a word. Not even a 'hi', or an 'excuse me, I need to get through' - until one day, during lunch, when Jesse literally ran into Drew. It's safe to say that's when it all changed. *So... I'm going to try my hardest to not make this cliché, but I do love writing cliché love stories! But if you love angst, and what you're looking for is a rollercoaster of messed up feels, this is the right book for you! Side note: The main characters (both boys) in the book are homosexual/bisexual so if that doesn't float your boat, this book really isn't for you. Hope you all enjoy the story!
