Wendell Harding hasn't had it easy with a family who treated him like garbage while his schoolmates used him as a punching bag and whipping boy. Even with his sharp tongue and the ability to read haters for filth, he still has a human heart that's been broken into pieces. And other than his late grandparents and a faithful counselor, Wendell "Hardass" Harding has had to rely on himself. And when one fateful assignment (following a shocking betrayal) lands him in the care of an all-boys residential therapy center, Wendell will need to learn how to be real and alive as he finds love with his sexy roommate and deals with a jealous hater.

This is a story of a rebel genius who has suffered for being himself and has to learn to love himself and be unapologetic for who he is.

What you need to know

1.) This was originally published on my now-deleted old profile back in July 2021 for Camp NaNoWriMo and I was also working on two more projects for the summer. It took me three months beforehand to plan this out, but the end result is worth it.

2. There will be triggering moments in this story: internalized homophobia, bullying, mental illness, mental health topics, and violence. But there will be steamy/fade-to-black sexual content that will be of the good kind. All in all, reader discretion is advised.

3. This will be a BOYXBOY novel! No homophobia allowed, or you will be blocked! I do not play around with bigotry!

4. I will be posting sneak previews of new chapters on the day before I upload them on my blog! You can view my website on my profile.

3. I plan to upload on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (sneak previews will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as Sundays). I may have to work on a couple more stories while I am doing this, but I ask that you bear with me. Trust me, the House of Evers never fails in bringing drama and excitement to a soap-opera kind of story. And I plan to do just that!

I'll be working on a tentative song list for the story, which will be posted in the next part before I start uploading the prologue and the first two chapters. Stick around, boys and girls! You can never go wrong with the House of Evers!
