Finding Home is a deeply emotional, slow-burn college romance about love, healing, and learning to trust again.
Sienna Thompson never expected to end up a teen mom, kicked out of her dorm and forced to move in with a house full of college football players. The last thing she wants is attention-especially from Liam Carter, the charming, cocky team captain with a soft side he tries to hide.
As Sienna struggles to balance school, motherhood, and a haunting past, Liam finds himself drawn to her strength and vulnerability. But secrets don't stay buried forever. When threatening messages start to surface, Sienna must decide if she can finally let someone in-or if her past will ruin her chance at a future.
It's not just about falling in love-it's about choosing to stay.
Btw guys I know the baby on the front is a boy but the one is the sorry is a girl it just took really long to find that and it was the last one I saw and I was jus like fuck it...haha

I just wanted to survive college without embarrassing myself in front of Morgan-who, for the record, is everything I'm not. He's confident, charming, and somehow even looks good doing laundry. I keep telling myself it's just a crush, that the late-night talks and inside jokes don't mean anything. But every time he smiles at me, it feels less like a phase and more like falling. He's completely out of my depth. Morgan // Liam's chaos shouldn't be my problem, but somehow, it's become my favorite part of the day. He's awkward, loud, and way too easy to care about. I've had flings before, sure, but nothing that's ever felt like this-like coming home to someone who actually sees me. The rules were simple: don't get attached. But with Liam, the line between friendship and something real keeps blurring, and I'm not sure I want to stop it anymore. 📖 Part of The House Collection The House is part of The House Collection, a series of interconnected queer romances about messy friendships, found family, and falling in love when you least expect it.
