Eighteen-year-old Sebastian has always known he was gay. And he's always known to keep it quiet. But being both gay and Black makes it nearly impossible for him to go unnoticed at the Mormon college his parents insisted he attend. Between the scholarship he can't lose, his family's pressure, and a judgmental campus, Sebastian's survival plan is simple: keep his head down and don't get noticed.
Then he meets Alex.
Alex always knew Brigham Young University was exactly where he was meant to be. Church taught him right from wrong, and he found comfort in rules, routines, and expectations. But when he meets Sebastian, he starts to question everything he's ever believed about himself.
As their connection grows, so does the risk. What happens when your truth doesn't fit the life you were told to live? And is love worth the fallout when the cost is everything you've ever known?

Heaven Doesn't Want Us
George Oliver has always been the son his father couldn't understand-too delicate, too soft, too wrong.

At St. Augustine's, being gay isn't just forbidden-it's treated like a disease. George hides behind quiet smiles and careful lies, terrified of the whispers that already follow him. His new roommate, Sebastian Kingsley, is everything George is not: brilliant, athletic, admired... and proudly homophobic. The school's golden prodigy is as untouchable as he is untamed, and George knows keeping his secret is the only way to survive. But secrets have a way of bleeding through walls. And when hatred and desire collide in the confines of a single dorm room, neither boy will walk away unchanged. TUNE IN TO KNOW THEIR STORY 🍁🌀Complete
