    Summary

    TK walks along the sidewalk in a hot Austin toward what is meant to be his ‘fresh start’. So far, he’s too hot, though he’s still wearing his favorite pink hoodie, and he already hates the sight of the massive building in front of him.

    He wishes he could go back to New York.

    As he gets closer, it gets busier, and though it seems expected—more teenagers heading towards the school on the first day back? Yeah, of course, that’s going to happen—TK hates it. Everyone is new and different, and he swears they’re all staring at him despite the fact this place has hundreds of students who would not be able to tell if he’s the new kid or not. It just feels like everyone is watching.

    After a forced move to Travis Heights High, TK is left to navigate not only a new school but a new life in Austin.

    Summary

    One year ago, TK was reluctantly unpacking boxes in a room that couldn’t feel any less like his if it tried in a state he didn’t belong. He’d been depressed, filled with an anxiety he didn’t think he’d ever be able to shake, lonely as hell, and getting through the next hour felt impossible, let alone the next year.

    Today, he’s bolting upright in the bed he shares more often than not with the love of his life, exclaiming, “Oh my god, babe. We have two classes together? And homeroom. And two free blocks.”

    Yeah, life has a funny way of working itself out, but that doesn’t stop it from happening.

    ‘It’ being, well, for TK today, school.

    Now solid in their relationship, TK and Carlos navigate senior year at Travis Heights High and all that brings. A sequel to written in the stars.

    Summary

    Dr. Carlos Reyes can’t stand the newest paramedic at the 126. He’s cocky, impulsive, abrasive, and — while admittedly very good at his job — a thorn in his side. Paramedic TK Strand feels the same: he can’t seem to go anywhere in this damn city without someone singing the praises of the young, talented local-boy-turned-doctor. But as time passes some of the bravado fades and their true natures are revealed. Slowly they each start to realize that maybe the other isn’t as bad as they once thought and that maybe — just maybe — there is much more to them than meets the eye.
