Edge of seventeen

(NO SMUT)

Elliot Everett Adler is everything his parents want him to be: a straight-A student, a soccer star, and the perfect son of a highly respected priest and a devout teacher. But beneath his polished exterior lies a storm of secrets and desires that could shatter the life his parents have so carefully built for him.

As Elliot navigates the treacherous waters of high school, he finds himself drawn to Asher Rhodes Carson, the one guy he's supposed to despise. Asher is everything Elliot isn't-cocky, carefree, and unafraid to be himself. But as their rivalry turns into something much deeper, Elliot is forced to confront the truth he's been hiding from everyone, including himself.

In a world where appearances are everything and conformity is law, Elliot must decide whether to follow the path laid out for him or to take a risk that could change his life forever. With his family's expectations weighing him down and his own desires pulling him in a different direction, Elliot stands at the edge of seventeen, where the choices he makes will define who he really is.
