The Brother Project (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798270990244)

Freshman year at Bowfields University felt like a fresh start for Taron Hillmayor. With out of town friends visiting, he's predicting a fun, albeit chaotic, summer. Until his internship at a local CPS branch gives him a new assignment-taking in a kid named Hunter, who would rather do a hundred different things than get saddled as Taron's 'little brother' for the next few months.

While Taron has started to open up more with the help of his friends, Hunter is closed up tighter than a clam. Where Taron's found purpose in his job, Hunter is floating aimless, lost in a raging sea in more ways than one. Both boys butted heads the day they met, yet somehow, they're more alike than they realize.

Despite wanting to be a good 'big brother' for Hunter, Taron is still healing from scars himself. As he juggles his time, relationships, and mental health, some things are bound to fall through the cracks.

Especially when his long-term girlfriend Aleese comes back from an extended trip to Seattle, bringing a disruptive tidal wave of change with her, all circling around one big word: forever.
