Book 1. (Rewritten)

Morgan Richter; average brown eyes and long, dark hair. Tall, independent, defensive. She has an air about her that makes her feel the need to look after everyone; a big bother sort of manner. Living anywhere she can lay her head, most times her friend Tyler's house, she has her home basically on the street. 

 A violent father who has devoted his life to alcohol, and an emotionally distant mother who uses drugs to disconnect from the life she calls her own; makes for a pretty interesting childhood, don't you think? Her upside is the fact that she can, usually, escape 'home' without having to return often. Hence why she stays with Tyler and his psychopathic sister. Enter in some friends off the street, and Morgan's defensive/protective nature, and you get...trouble. Serious, chaotic trouble.

Levi Carson; son of the man who runs Carson Corp. Deep brown eyes, and medium cut, nearly black looking hair. Tall, aspiring, caring. He made it through high school, and some unspoken trouble he would prefer left hidden. His path is set. His future is clear...until the night Morgan takes the fall for stealing a car. His car.

An adventure they never expected, with people they never thought would cross paths, and decisions that will change both futures...forever.All Rights Reserved

Home is a Four Letter Word by hannagustin

(Book One) Jake Holmes hadn't put much thought into what home meant until Connor Morgan asked him to. He had settled with an idealistic fantasy. A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity. A life with Connor was something close enough to touch if he only knew how to reach for it. Jake's feelings for Connor become unmistakable, but the grip his past has on his ability to embrace the possibility of a life where he lets those feelings win threatens to leave him with a desperate choice he isn't equipped to make. As Jake struggles to find home within his identity, he is forced to combat the part of his heart that is stuck in the past with the part of his heart that yearns for a future. What is home if not where the heart is? Completed. Book 1 of 3. Sequel releases coming soon.

Somethings are terrifying, as he expected they would be, but others light and gentle, hidden beneath the faces of monsters that could resurface at any moment. Everyone in LC penitentiary is a dance of faces, of masks one wears to blend in with prey. Which faces are real, which the lures? And will Nathan one day don a mask of his own, to bury the gentleness in his heart behind the violence and hatred that ended him up there in the first place? ----- Rachel is the daughter of the Mayor by day and one of the hood kids at night. Nothing was dangerous to her until she stumbled upon the inmates of LC Penitentiary. Intending only to take a step onto the edges of LC Penitentiary, it drags her under into a world of violence, pain, and unfathomable sadness.
