Becoming Boone

<p>Nathan Boone wasn't looking for trouble-just a fresh start.</p><p>Northern Connecticut State University was supposed to be his clean slate. A place to focus on writing breathe for once and maybe figure out where he belonged.</p><p></p><p>Instead it feels like stepping into a storm.</p><p></p><p>He shows up with his only real friend Eve only to be dropped into a world that moves too fast and cuts too deep. His roommate Gabe is chaos with a pulse-loud hilarious and unapologetically himself. Then there's Mia-soft-spoken magnetic and quietly orbiting her own rules.</p><p></p><p>And Dante.</p><p>The name alone makes Nathan want to disappear. A ghost from his past with unfinished business and a punch that still echoes.</p><p></p><p>But the real danger is Val.</p><p>She watches from the edges with a smile that means nothing good. Nobody knows what she's really after-only that she plays for keeps.</p><p></p><p>At the center of it all is MIND-the Medically Integrated Neuro Device. It promises clarity control and perfection. For someone like Nathan it could be the answer to everything.</p><p>Or the start of something he can't take back.</p><p></p><p>As the lines between safety and surrender start to blur Nathan has to decide: cling to the anxious kid he's always been-or risk becoming something entirely new.</p><p></p><p>Being Nathan was hard enough.</p><p></p><p>Becoming Boone? That might be impossible.</p>
