Boys of Beaufort: Book One
Sean Henderson doesn't belong at Beaufort Academy, and he knows it. The scholarship kid. The housekeeper's son. The boy in secondhand blazers who bikes to a school of limousines and never, not once, lets anyone close enough to notice that behind the headphones and the studied indifference, he cannot hear a single word they say.
Evan Bennett belongs everywhere and nowhere. The only openly gay student at Beaufort, magnificent in his defiance, devastating in his loneliness. For three years he has survived this gilded prison by making himself untouchable - sleeping with the right boys, wielding secrets like weapons, falling in love with the worst possible person. Daniel Tremblay is beautiful and cruel and closeted, and Evan's attachment to him is the one crack in his armor he cannot seal.
They have shared classrooms for three years without exchanging a single word. They were never supposed to speak. Then the headmaster assigns Sean to tutor Evan over winter break, and four weeks of enforced proximity unravel everything both boys thought they knew about themselves - and each other.
Boys of Beaufort is a story about the violence of class and the tenderness that survives it. About two people who construct elaborate performances of who they are, and what happens when the audience disappears.
