COMPLETED! "Because you're you and I'm me, and we just don't fit." - "The Idea of You" by Robinne Lee Skylar O'Hara believes that some people do not go well together, especially when it comes to jocks and nerds. Despite him being on the diving team with his godbrother Jorge Fernandez and their friends and families being well-acquainted with each other, Skylar wants nothing to do with Jorge and plans to keep his priorities in line with the goals and expectations set by his grandparents: finish high school, get a scholarship, and keep the family name clear from scandal. And even though he has been dreaming forbidden fantasies, Skylar knows that he couldn't afford any distractions whatsoever. But Jorge has other plans in mind, as do his and Skylar's families as well as their social circles and even the school's matchmaking principal and vice-principal. Everyone knows that Skylar's been crushing on Jorge but has let his fears and grandparents' high expectations keep him from acting on it. So what happens when an end-of-summer house party leads to a drunken one-night stand? And what happens when a year-long senior project, family dinners, and other arranged events force Skylar to be by Jorge's side? Skylar knows that Jorge wants him badly. Jorge's not the type to give up, even if his godbrother wants him to forget him. With the passions and romantic desires building between them, will Skylar's bias and jaded personality keep him and Jorge apart for good? Or can Jorge finally shatter Skylar's castle walls and teach him what it means to be on the edge of seventeen?

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.

cover by @-MEEKA [ CURRENTLY ON HOLD :(] What if a criminal, a servant, & a princess lived alongside each other? What would happen? ------------------------ Love was such a pesky thing. It makes your heart throb and your words slurred, and your emotions can easily be flipped around with mere words. It makes you weak and fall at your feet.
