There comes a time when every young boy has to become a man. It's a time that many boys look forward to. No longer having to answer to anyone, freedom to make adult decisions, working hard to hold one's own. It's an experience that excites even the youngest of them. But what happens when a boy is forced to become a man before his time?
Eighteen year old Casey Lewis was only thirteen years old when he was forced to become the man of the house. His father, Daniel Lewis, passed the torch of manhood to his son when he died of a sudden brain aneurysm. Trying to fill the big shoes of his father, helping his mother to raise his two little sisters was anything but easy. Finally, Casey is graduating high school and is set to leave for college in the fall. With a reliant, slightly overbearing mother and two little girls looking up to him, leaving seems almost impossible.
Which leaves everyone with two major questions; will Casey leave and finally get to live a life of his own? Or will he stay and continue being the man of the house?

Home is a Four Letter Word
(Book One) Jake Holmes hadn't put much thought into what home meant until Connor Morgan asked him to. He had settled with an idealistic fantasy. A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity. A life with Connor was something close enough to touch if he only knew how to reach for it. Jake's feelings for Connor become unmistakable, but the grip his past has on his ability to embrace the possibility of a life where he lets those feelings win threatens to leave him with a desperate choice he isn't equipped to make. As Jake struggles to find home within his identity, he is forced to combat the part of his heart that is stuck in the past with the part of his heart that yearns for a future. What is home if not where the heart is? Completed. Book 1 of 3. Sequel releases coming soon.Complete
