Andrew has spent years being the school's favorite target-mocked, lied about, and treated like he's something less than human. His only real comfort is Nathon, his best friend who carries scars of his own.
Then Kendrick arrives. He's new, clueless about the rumors, and sees Andrew with a kind of honesty no one else ever has. What begins as a gentle friendship slowly blooms into something neither boy expected-something Andrew never believed he deserved. For the first time, he feels seen... and loved.
But while Andrew's world begins to open, Nathon's heart is breaking. He's been in love for years with James-the boy who once saved him from one of his darkest moments. When James suddenly returns, Nathon hopes for a miracle. Instead, James pretends they're strangers, terrified of what his homophobic cousin might think if he knew the truth.
As secrets unravel and old wounds reopen, all four boys are forced to face the kind of pain that shapes a person. Andrew must learn to trust love. Kendrick must learn to protect it. Nathon must fight to believe he's worth loving. And James must choose between fear and the boy he once saved.
Heartbreaking, tender, and full of quiet courage-this is a story about finding light in the darkest places... and choosing love even when the world tells you not to.

The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.
