Bright Autumn by Kimberly Powell - Ongoing Series

Brighton has never been afraid of a little attention – nor has he ever been a stranger to it. Having Natasha Ashbury for a Mother certainly prepared him for life in the fast lane. His fast lane becomes a sidewalk, however, when his Mother ships him off to an all-boy, Catholic boarding school on the other side of the country. Suddenly, all that Brighton has ever known has been replaced with ideals and surroundings that he has never experienced in his life.

Enter Christopher. Good son, religious, studious overachiever – he is everything that Brighton is not. And soon enough, he is everything that Brighton wants.
As the two boys begin a tentative friendship, Brighton senses that all is not well at St. Paul’s of the Eternal and he embarks on a search for the truth.

Will Christopher trust Brighton enough to let him become a part of his world, and will Brighton be able to resist uncovering a truth that will change Christopher’s perception of everything he holds dear?
