A Handful of Earth
by Gunay Ahmad

Elijah Hale has spent his life keeping the truest parts of himself submerged—perfect grades, a sensible future, and a version of himself his father can be proud of. Then he meets Oliver Holloway. What starts as stolen looks and quiet tension turns into something that demands more than secrecy. But the closer Elijah gets to Oliver, the harder it becomes to keep his life from caving in. Because wanting Oliver isn’t the problem. Choosing him is.
