a slow-burn, emotional story about Brandon King-a quiet, autistic artist haunted by past trauma and unable to draw the faces, especially the eyes, of those around him. That is, until he meets the Heathens: five powerful, intimidating young men who unexpectedly become his protectors, his comfort, and eventually, his home. As Brandon begins to heal in their presence, the faces on his sketchpad begin to change... and for the first time, the eyes he draws are full of life, love, and belonging.

Better than Sticks
Lou Young has always seemed quiet and studious with a bad case of perfectionism. In her final year of high school, she's determined to knuckle down and focus only on doing well, but when Hayden Ramona hurtles into her life, with bad jokes and a bad case of hair dye, she's forced to face what's she's been hiding from all these years. The last thing Hayden Ramona planned on was moving to a quiet rural town in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere, where people still wince at the word 'gay'. But now that he's here, he's going to make the most of it, ignore people with bad mullets and definitely not get distracted by a certain sandy-haired boy. Annie McLean has been teaching at Glendale Secondary School for over four years now and this year she's back...just a little different from the last. Annie was expecting that coming out as a trans woman would be rough, especially when you teach a bunch of hyper 15-year olds, but wasn't quite ready for the aftermath. Better than Sticks is set in rural Australia and is an original coming-of-age work exploring identity, sexuality and family.Complete
Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️
"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.Complete
