He slowly moved towards me, eyes judging me up and down like I was some kind of prey. I allow him to lead me on until I felt my back lightly hit the cold lockers. His gaze was now fixed on my eyes, his hard body gently pressing on mine, pinning me still. He was huffing like he was savoring me. I bet he's enjoying this. He slowly moved his head to my ear and whispered, "I bet you regret associating with me." I smirked and responded, "no regrets."
Alex Mitchel is a no-nonsense, antisocial who technically hates people, especially their high school social hierarchy. On the other hand, Noah Nelson is at the top of the social food chain, popular, well-liked, and not to mention the hard-hitting captain of the football team. What will happen if these two one day, as cliché as it is, are paired as lab partners. Will Alex be willing to cooperate despite his preference to work alone and his undying social prejudice against the social hierarchy? While Noah can break through any barriers in football, will he be able to break this one? His most significant barrier is his lab partner.

"We've been best friends for fourteen years. Did you really think I wouldn't notice? I can see it... in your eyes. Your smile never reaches your eyes."

When Aspen Ace falls, he falls hard. It's a gradual descent that happens so naturally, Aspen doesn't even recognize anything's changed until he's already neck-deep in an unrequited love for his best friend, Rafe Alvarez.
Nervous and insecure, Aspen brings this new revelation to the person he trusts most-his older brother, Alex. He doesn't expect to be met with unconditional acceptance, but the reaction he receives is nightmare fodder. Regret barely scratches the surface of Aspen's emotions when his brother decides to blackmail him, but with no other option, Aspen learns to survive. Aspen can deal with the abuse as long as Alex keeps his sexuality a secret. He'll just wait it out. Aspen will graduate high school with a baseball scholarship and get the hell out of his conservative hometown... if he can endure. But he can't, and Aspen's suddenly fighting not only his brother, but the all-consuming monster in his head.
