This is the second book of the MiMiC series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but old characters will likely return. Being in another country was supposed to be an adventure. Even with such a severe handicap from a traumatic experience in his past, Roh-Ahn was ready to take on teaching in America, and maybe see some of its famous tourist sites, too. What he hadn't planned, however, was to meet a young history teacher who not only saves him when he has a bad reaction after overexerting himself, but who keeps appearing at just the right times to make his heart beat a little bit faster then it should.

Gilliam Tomlinson had had to fight for every ounce of respect he had ever managed to gain from the Texas Rangers. His late father had been less than an honorable man and it seemed that despite Gilliam's attempts to distance himself from that memory, he carried his deceased father's legacy along with him like a heavy wool cloak he never could quite shake off. Then the chance he'd been waiting for fell right into his lap. A gang led by a mysterious outlaw who had so far evaded any notice had been wreaking havoc and stealing cattle from the rich land barons of Texas and they wanted it stopped. Gilliam's job was simple: infiltrate the gang, learn about their leader, gain their trust and then bring them down. It should have been easy. It should have been a simple, cut and dry operation... but Gilliam had never imagined the gang leader would have such fiery green eyes and he'd certainly never imagined the leader would be a man named Jeb who made his body heat up and his brain shut down. What follows is a struggle unlike any Gilliam has ever known. Law, order and duty tell him what he was supposed to do but there was something about that man, something about that life, something about the way he felt among those people that just felt right. Now he faced a choice. Listen to the code of a lawman or the heart of an outlaw.

Every once and a while the universe throws a curve ball your way- testing your ability to take on anything. Sometimes that curveball is a person who comes into your life and just changes everything. How you look at the world. How music sounds to you. How you see people can even change. In the swampy summer of 2017 Cole Jackson was thrown one of these curve balls by the universe. This curve ball transformed Cole from a spoiled jock to a deeply caring person. And it all started at football practice.

Joachim, the Swedish guy who refuses to grow up, meets his American opposite. Tom, the guy who had to grow up too fast, finds little amusement in the blond whirlwind who takes life for granted. Thrown together in holy matrimony, as Joachim forgets that he's visiting the US on a tourist visa with an expiry date, the two tip-toe around each other in a weird mating dance. Neither has the intention to take the marriage further than the paper states, but both of them have a sad truth in common that might change their minds. White meets Black, and perhaps there is a chance for gray in between. Maybe.

After filing his company for bankruptcy, Kyle's wife leaves him and his three-year-old son. Now a forty-two-year-old divorcee with no parenting skills or money, Kyle decides to move back to the small home town he grew up in. He should have lost all hope in love and romance, but there's something about Chaska, his son's preschool teacher, that just makes him feel like a college student in love again.

15 years after the Third World War and Undorn's citizens still feel it's aftermath. Mandatory non-electric hours are still implemented to conserve the fuel supply. Enforcers are stationed at every entrance to every city, ready to fire a shot at the first person who disobeys the Warden's police force. For Orgon, the Warden's middle child, the only thing he finds any pleasure in is math, finance, and numbers. That is, until he looks his servant boy in the eyes. Beo has had it. He doesn't like being ordered around by the Captain, he doesn't like how tight the fabric to his stupid Enforcer uniform is, and he most certainly does not like the boy who sleeps on the bunk bed below him. No, he most certainly does not. Neither of the two have any idea how their lives are about to change. No, they do not at all. Sequel on hold.

Sammy's managed to survive in the Big Apple all his life. The city has brought him major once in a lifetime opportunities, such as opening up his dream boxing gym. He never thought he'd need to use his self defense moves outside of the ring... but one particular crackhead proved him wrong the night of April 15th. That was when Sammy met Dante. •• "You ever get punched in the face by a crackhead?" "No, I can't say that I have." "Then don't speak on it like you've been punched in the face by a crackhead." *this book is unedited

Felix's brother Dylan is getting married, and Felix isn't happy about it. For one thing, his brother is an abusive jerk. For another, a wedding and a new extended family means that at some point, someone is going to try to give him a hug. Felix hates to be touched--a quirk that has kept him from having a romantic relationship with anyone, and that he thinks will doom him to be forever alone--an idea that actually doesn't bother him all that much. What's bothering him is the brother of his future sister-in-law--Isaac Mason. Isaac is everything Felix is not--athletic, outgoing, and very physical. And for some reason, he just won't leave Felix alone. The other thing that's bothering him is the secret he's carrying around about this brother. Can he let his brother's fiance marry a man who might be abusive without at least warning her? And what other secrets is his brother hiding? The more Felix learns about Dylan's Perfect Wedding, the less he likes the idea. Too bad he's agreed to plan most of it. As the day of the event draws near and more secrets come to light, Felix may have to choose between love and truth. ---------------------- Warnings: This story contains strong language, explicit sexual content, and depictions of abuse (not graphic). ---------------------- This is a work of fiction.

Jared Abitol is ugly, past his prime, and desperate for love. Years of being hyper-aware of his own looks have made Jared develop social anxiety. When you look like Jared, love isn't easy to find.

Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? It's not. - Cover by @nolakepner [NaNoWriMo winner, November 2018.]
