    Summary

    “The only guarantee you have as a human being is that you’re going to die. It’s up to you whether you see the light or the dark before that happens.”

    Ray Garraty has always followed the rules until one catastrophic mistake erases his entire life. In a world without second chances, one fuck up is all it takes.

    At sixteen, out of options and out of time, Ray is sentenced to Youth Rehabilitation: the government’s silent solution for troublesome boys. No trials. No appeals. No mercy. Just a stamped file and a future decided for him.

    Everyone knows what Youth Rehab does.
    It breaks you.
    It rebuilds you.

    It turns you into something useful to the State.
    Boys go in angry, scared, defiant.
    They come out emptied, sharpened, obedient
    if they come out at all.

    Ray was never supposed to survive it.
    He was never supposed to fight back.
    But some systems don’t realize they’ve made a mistake until it’s already too late.

    Summary

    Emergency medicine thrives on adrenaline, split-second decisions, and controlled chaos—things Dennis Whitaker handles better than most. What he doesn’t handle well is being the patient.
    When a sudden collapse in the ER draws attention he never wanted, Dennis is forced to navigate suspicion, concern, and the risk of a secret coming to light: a heart that has never played by the rules.

    Or a story where Dennis has a heart condition and tries his best to hide it from the people he calls family.

    Summary

    From the moment they meet, Ray is off limits. He’s a client, he’s taken, he’s probably straight. He’s hot, sure, but he’s also so off-the-table that it’s not even funny. They get along easily, and it only registers to Pete as a relief. He assumes it will make his job easier. It takes a couple months for Ray to become one of his favorite clients. Even though Pete’s absolute favorite client is a grandmother in her mid-fifties who always brings him good gossip, Ray is comfortably within the top ten by virtue of his easy conversation and good humor. The simple fact that Ray can make him laugh is enough for Pete to like him at first.

    Pete isn’t sure when the temperature of things started to change between them. Maybe they started when Ray and his girlfriend broke up, and Ray came to the gym talking about a revenge body.

    Summary

    Billy tries turning to look them in the face, but it's a futile attempt, one so pathetic it makes him want to cry. McVries comes to his bedside, puts a fever-checking palm on his forehead. That touch does something to Billy, and he stops fussing.
    It's the most lucid he's felt in a while: there are memories in his head that are recent, not just inane childhood-hallucinations. He remembers the sabotage, the kind of insurrectionist action so loathed by his father. It happened not long after Arthur Baker's death. Then came the run-for-it, ride-for-it in the rebel car, the pain and the screaming and the careening out of the world.

    or: The last three Long Walkers are rescued by rebels before Stebbins has the opportunity to come clean about his family situation. Forced to lie low in an isolated cabin with his former competitors, he's grappling with old demons and questioning his loyalties.
