Cast out from his isolated community of telepaths, Dominic is left wandering the woods, defeated and alone. A chance rescue by a hiker is the only thing to stop his downward spiral\u2014though not literally, as he winds up in the valley below his home, struggling to adapt to the Outsiders\u2019 strange way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominic\u2019s fall from grace is steeper than the mountain he\u2019s descended. He\u2019s lost his leadership to a rival, and the people he\u2019s spent his life protecting are in danger. People he can no longer consider inferior, now that he\u2019s the clueless one in their midst. As an unprecedented crime wave ripples through the city, Dominic is forced to break a sacred rule and intervene by himself. He enlists his rescuer Avery for help navigating the unfamiliar world while he strengthens his telepathic abilities, hoping to reclaim his birthright. But Avery has an agenda of his own, and the man is a mystery that calls on all of Dominic\u2019s senses to solve\u2026 leading to a bond beyond his understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his power growing every day, Dominic must eventually choose: will he remain where his heart lies, or return home and work to bring peace to the ailing world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music is the only form of communication Connor Owens controls. No matter how badly he wishes to fit in, friendly banter and casual conversations have never been his thing. College is yet another social universe he has no clue how to navigate\u2014until he meets Jared, a football player with chestnut eyes and a cocky grin that holds the power to shatter his self-imposed prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jared’s attention opens Connor up to a new realm of emotional and physical intimacy. But as Connor’s self-confidence grows, so does his fear that everything will fall apart. Because in this socially stratified world, how long can a relationship between an introverted violinist and a closeted football player really last?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex’s life as a teenager in South Central L.A. is far from perfect, but it’s his life, and he knows how to live it. He knows what role to play and what things to keep to himself. He’s got it all under control, until one lousy pair of shoes kicks him out of his world and lands him in a foster care group home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounded by strangers and trapped in a life where he could never belong, Alex turns to the only person lower on the social ladder than he is: a “special” mute boy. In Sebastian, Alex finds a safe place to store his secrets\u2014those that sent him to foster care, and the deeper one that sets him apart from the other teenagers he knows. But Sebastian has secrets of his own, and when tragedy rips the two boys apart, Alex will stop at nothing to find the answers\u2014even if it means dragging them both through a past full of wounds best left buried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might just be worth it, for the slim chance at love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon has found himself in an open relationship for the summer\u2014though not by choice. Instead of wallowing, he’s decided to make the most of a family vacation to Costa Rica by hooking up with the first hot guy available. Trouble is, he has no clue how to go about doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, he runs into someone with a little more experience. But when the moments of lust turn into something more, Simon isn\u2019t so sure he\u2019ll be able to return to his old relationship. And there\u2019s no way to hold onto this new one, either, as thousands of miles will separate them in only a few short weeks. Either way, he\u2019ll have to learn to let go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
