Summary: Before the reunion. Before the heartbreak. Before everything fell apart. Love, Lust & Betrayal reveals the untold story of Blair Cohen and Luke Roberts during their four unforgettable years at the University of Missouri. Far from St. Ignatius and the judgment of their hometown, Blair and Luke finally find the freedom to love each other without fear — until loyalty, family, and power threaten to destroy it all. Enter Muffy Van Goth: beautiful, ambitious, and the daughter of Luke’s father’s most valuable business partner. What begins as a convenient family alliance becomes a trap that forces Luke into a life he never wanted — and tears him away from the only person he’s ever truly loved. From stolen moments in dorm rooms to shattered promises under the Missouri sun, Love, Lust & Betrayal is a powerful story of passion, privilege, and the price of choosing survival over love. Because sometimes, the greatest sin isn’t falling in love — it’s betraying it.

Summary: Before St. Ignatius, there was Clarkstown North. Before the secret kisses, rivalries, and friendships that would shape his future, Blair Cohen was just a quiet boy from Congers, New York—an outsider trying to survive the harsh world of high school. At Clarkstown North, Blair filled his notebooks with poetry and sketches—private worlds where he could hide from the noise of crowded hallways and the cruelty of his classmates. But everything changed when Wally, the school’s golden-boy athlete, spread a lie that outed Blair before he was ready. What started as whispers turned into public humiliation, ending in Blair’s expulsion and a devastating fracture in his sense of belonging. The Book of Blair tells the story of those crucial years before St. Ignatius, where one boy’s struggle against betrayal, shame, and isolation set the stage for the battles to come. It is a raw and emotional prequel about innocence lost, the weight of secrets, and the beginnings of a resilience that could not be broken. Powerful, poignant, and deeply human, this installment in the Catholic School Boys in Trouble series reminds us that every legend has an origin story—and Blair’s began long before anyone knew his name. Perfect for fans of LGBTQ+ coming-of-age stories, high school drama, and emotional journeys of self-discovery.

Summary: What if going back was the only way forward? Ten years after graduation, Blair Cohen returns to St. Ignatius Catholic Boys’ School for a high school reunion that promises nostalgia—but delivers reckoning. Once expelled from his old life for being different, Blair found unlikely sanctuary at a strict Catholic school where friendship, first love, and fear intertwined. Now, as he walks the same halls with his former classmates, memories resurface—both the beautiful and the brutal. When Blair unexpectedly comes face-to-face with Luke Roberts—the golden boy who once broke his heart—past and present collide. Luke is married with children, but the spark between them still lingers. Confessions are made. Truths are unearthed. And Blair must decide if forgiveness is possible, if healing is real, and whether love lost can ever truly be reclaimed. A moving sequel to Catholic School Boys in Trouble, this story is a powerful exploration of identity, regret, and redemption. Tender, raw, and unapologetically honest, The Reunion reminds us that sometimes, the hardest person to come home to… is yourself.
