M.L.H. Series

Montgomery Lake High is a raw, gripping young adult series that dives straight into the authentic high school experience—first love, temptation, friendship, self-worth, redemption, and the battles (both seen and unseen) that shape who you become.

Imagine walking the halls of Montgomery Lake High, where friendships are tested, secrets spiral out of control, and every choice feels like it could change everything. From the football-field dreams shattered by hidden habits to the pull of rebellion against everything you’ve been taught is right, these books capture the chaos and heart of being a teen like nothing else.

Readers call it authentic, urgent, and impossible to put down—because it doesn’t sugarcoat the darkness but always leaves room for light, growth, and hope.



Montgomery Lake High #1: The Right Person

Growing up in the shadow of two NFL-destined cousins, Chris Dunkin has high hopes for his own future in football. However, a drug addiction threatens to destroy everything he has worked hard to attain. When Chris meets Courtney Angeletti—the mayor’s straightedge Christian daughter—he believes she could be the source of inspiration he needs to overcome his destructive lifestyle.

Courtney, however, has other ideas.

The desire to rebel has been tugging on Courtney’s heartstrings for some time, and Chris’s “bad-boy” reputation draws her to him like a moth to a flame. After all, he is a central part of the most popular clique in her high school. Will Chris pull Courtney away from her faith or will Courtney inspire him to overcome his rebellious lifestyle?


Montgomery Lake High #2: When Darkness Tries To Hide

Students at Montgomery Lake High believe the ominous clouds and impending storm will only bring a temporary interruption to their regularly scheduled lives. However, when the tempest grows worse and a classmate’s life hangs in the balance, students must pull together to support each other and seek help for their friend. As the lines between cliques dissolve, dark secrets are revealed and hearts are transformed.

“The theme of light and darkness is relevant to everyone. No matter how old or young you are, the struggles of Jason, Chantal, and Chris will be applicable to your life.” – Isabelle Semas, best-selling author of The Crash


Montgomery Lake High #3: The Aftermath

At age fifteen, Jason Davids appears to have nearly any worldly thing that promises enjoyment at his disposal. Despite this, there is a persistent emptiness inside his heart. After failing to fill the void with achievements, relationships, and illicit substances, Jason finds himself intrigued by Jessie Robins: the daughter of a local pastor. How is it possible that she stands for everything his lifestyle opposes yet possesses the one thing he has been searching for all along?

“It is rare to find a narrative that is equally entertaining and educational, yet The Aftermath seems to have mastered this impactful combination. The accuracy in which the book immerses the reader into the mind and thought processes of teenagers and the bubble that is high school is so important. I would recommend this book and the entire MLH series to all middle and high school age students!” – Elizabeth Harvey, Emerson College


Montgomery Lake High #4: The Battle For Innocence

Jon Anderson and Chantal Kagelli are trying to live moral lives, but temptations are plaguing them in and out of school. Will they continue to be lights in their best friends’ lives or will they get pulled into the darkness?

“The Battle for Innocence offers incredible insight and even more character development than the previous books within the MLH series. I found it very captivating to see multi-dimensional characters and related to them in a whole new way.” – Elizabeth Harvey, Emerson College


Montgomery Lake High #5: The Forces Within

After being trapped inside his own body, unable to communicate with anyone but his own thoughts, Andy Rosetti finally wakes up from the coma that controlled his life for one month. But upon awakening, Andy finds himself and his friends in an unfamiliar setting: a mansion riddled with secret passages and supernatural forces. As his friends fall prey to the entities surrounding them, Andy must figure out if the darkness lies within the mansion’s walls or within the people surrounding him.

“A mixture between ‘The Screwtape Letters’ and a Nancy Drew novel, ‘The Forces Within’ takes a poignantly authentic look at spiritual warfare. A shocking reminder of a too-often overlooked battle, this book is desperately needed to educate today’s generation.” – Mackenzie Wells, University of Georgia
