Finding lucas

Book 2 of saving James series.

Lucas Hart learned how to survive long before he learned how to live.

At sixteen, he's already been homeless, hunted by ghosts with familiar last names, and taught that love is something you earn-or lose.

He doesn't ask for help. He fixes what he breaks, keeps his head down, and disappears when things get too heavy.

So when a storm forces him into a house full of strangers-an ex-nurse who believes too easily, a cop who trusts too slowly, and boys who don't know what to do with someone like him-Lucas does what he always does.

He lies. He adapts. He survives.

But some secrets don't stay buried. Some pasts don't stay gone. And some families aren't built by blood, but by the people who choose to stay when walking away would be easier.

This is a story about survival, silence, love, and the damage done by the things we never say. About a boy who was trained to be dangerous-and chose not to be. About found family, fractured trust, and what it costs to finally be seen.
