"Your entire life can change in a split second - for better or worse. It's up to you to decide how you want to live it out. Do you embrace the change, or do you go in search of your old life?" Makenna wakes up a few months after her accident and cannot remember. Not how she ended up at the hospital, or about the English boy, Atlas, who had turned her life upside down. She's been set on a new path, but this time there's no hiding from who she truly is. No more running from past nightmares. And to whatever life's got in store, she's completely vulnerable - stripped bare. Coming to Wattpad: 4th July, 2026

At first glance, nobody would be able to tell that Nathaniel Jean had a problem. Or second glance, or third, or fourth. After all, he had everything. He was a captain of his school's soccer team and one of the top players in the state. He had a big house and money to spend. He had family, he had friends, he had fun, he had faith. He never meant for it to happen. He never wanted to look at another man in the way he should have been looking at a woman. The idea had disgusted him for most of his life - living in a heavily Catholic town with heavily Catholic parents, homophobia was the only response he knew. That didn't change when he first realized that he didn't like girls. No, Nathaniel Jean was still homophobic. He hated the idea of a man sleeping with another man. He was raised on the notion that all gays went to hell, and he believed it. He despised them, and so he despised himself. Nathaniel Jean was more fortunate than most, because help did arrive for him. Help by the name of Lucas Morgan, they boy he'd always known but never known. The boy with big dreams and bigger talent. The boy that changed Nathaniel's life over the course of their thirty-six week long senior year.

He was never meant to be mine. But when fate gave me a way in, I stayed. Alexander Kensington was born with everything, wealth, grace, legacy. But beneath the perfection lies ruin. A past no one sees. Scars no one touches. A soul quietly unraveling. When his twin sister vanishes days before her arranged marriage, Alexander is forced to take her place, an act of duty that sends him straight into the orbit of Atlas King. Dangerous. Unforgiving. Trapped in a world of violence and shadows. Atlas was never supposed to want him but Alexander was never supposed to feel like home. What begins as cold tension turns into something far more devastating. A slow, aching pull neither of them can escape. In stolen moments and fractured nights, two men learn to choose each other over and over again, even when the world demands they don't. But love, like ruin, leaves its mark and some scars were made to be worshipped.

"Memories have the ability of unlocking new emotions. They allow you to relive moments with surfacing feelings you were unable to experience then. It's your choice to let these feelings live and take hold or tragically, or in this case, delightfully die." Makenna Adams can remember the first and last time she's ever been frightened of anything. That moment had turned her life into a daily nightmare. She would've never guessed that an English boy, Atlas, would be the second. The same boy who can't seem to stop thinking about what had unfolded the last time they were in the same room. He had certainly left her bruised.

"There are a few moments in life that are perfect and surreal; like a beautiful dream you don't want to wake up from, but when you do, you can't seem to remember what it was about. Then there are the terrible moments, absolute nightmares that nothing you do can make you forget them. This was that moment." Makenna Adams is in her third year of College with a dark past that none of her friends know about. She's no longer the sweet and innocent girl she was three years ago, she's bitter and always seeks danger. But when an English boy, Atlas, transfers to her college, she starts to see glimpses of the old her and she won't have it because the old her is nothing but broken. Book cover by @Lazybrew
