Phillip MacAfee, Mac for his friends. Too bad Mac is a complete loner and hates people. Some serious things from his past have caused this young man to keep to himself. Most of the time, he was inviable and happy about it. That is until this year.

Starting his Junior year at Moss Grove University, Mac's Art History class wasn't available online. The first day he tried to sit in the far back, but he got the professor that loves to put everyone in groups. There was no way around it.

Mac ended up in a group with a foul mouth and sassy goth; a country, small town girl; a novelist; and the all-star pitcher on the baseball team. All of them shouldn't have been placed together, but now Mac can't get rid of them.

Worse of all, the jock has taken an intense interest in Mac. So much that feelings developed where they shouldn't be. Can Mac lower his walls around his heart for the jock who has to come to terms with not being what society accepts?

BOOK ONE Discovering your sexuality in high-school is one of the most challenging things a teenage boy can face. Being closet gay for months, finally coming out, being greeted with a punch in the face and being shunned is even worse. For Julian Douglas, life can't get anymore difficult especially in the face of high school, a restrictive religious mother, and a gorgeous man with a huge following who jumped into his life at the most inopportune time. ::: He felt like serenity. He made me feel safe and I couldn't help but slow my heartbeat down to match his and at once, I felt the tempo of his heart thumping against my back, his breaths on my neck, goosebumps raising. I could feel it when his body finally went slack, when he'd fallen asleep and soft snores emitted. And I thought I was getting better at this breaking down thing... I honestly did but when I was alone, I seemed to fall apart. Endless serenades of how worthless I'd been and how destructive I was; I was a disappointment to literally everyone and I hated it. My breathing became shallow as I cried for the second time that day, finally feeling content being immersed in guilt. A shudder wracked through my body, tears escaping and Paul pulled me closer as he woke silently. Mumbling soft nothings against my skin and kissing it to slow my breathing, he tried to lull me to sleep, "It's okay, you're okay." Refusing to speak -my voice failing me- his arm came up to wrap around my shoulder and I held him there, placing a small kiss to his tattooed skin in a broken sign of gratitude, I must've run out of tears. And I felt at ease.

"What did I want? I wanted to be someone else. Or I wanted to live in a world where I didn't have to want to be someone else." *** Connor Hill lives a life of routine: He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, pretends to be straight, rinse and repeat. He lives a life of anonymity, hiding the fact that he's gay from everyone he knows. But everything changes when he encounters the brooding, enigmatic soccer player, Josh Brooks. As the boys keep finding themselves crossing paths, it becomes more and more difficult to stay apart. Connor begins to question if his philosophy of remaining anonymous is just as painful as coming out and allowing the world to see him as someone they might reject. Secrets will be spilled. Will the truth strengthen the boys' bond? Or will their worlds be shattered? [2024 WATTYS SHORTLIST]
