But one accidental collision sets off a whirlwind of spikes, secrets, and unexpected feelings that just might pull him into the spotlight for good. *** Evan has spent his entire life living in the shadow of his twin brother and volleyball prodigy, Ethan Reed. And to be honest? He likes it there. No expectations, no pressure, just quiet. That is, until one day he trips and falls into a boy, and subsequently triggers a highly dramatic series of events that starts with him reluctantly joining the volleyball team, and ends with him dating his brother's best friend. (And unfortunately, after all of it, he's still on the volleyball team.) *** NOW COMPLETED

Some would define love as a neurotransmitters like dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin, creating feelings of strong affection, attachment, and pleasure. What I felt for Hassan Moore was the complete opposite. Since grade school, he's gone out of his way to make my life complete hell. Leaving New York, I thought I'd escape his hellish demeanor. But 4 years later, I returned to the same exact boy. The same feeling.

If there's one thing that's certain in Noah Quinn's life, it's that he absolutely hates Jace Jackson. Like, all consuming, burning, passionate hatred. While Noah and his best friend Lee are pretty much nobodies, Lee's bad boy older brother Jace is practically royalty. All cigarette smoke, hard edges, and angry brown eyes, the eldest Jackson brother was Noah's natural opposite. So much so, that he had made it his duty to ruin the younger boys life; until Noah becomes the thing that unravels his. After his family get into an accident, Noah has no choice but to move in with his best friend and the older brother that hates him more than anyone. But while he buries his trauma, Jace fights his demons alone. So after a few drunken mistakes, prank wars and shared bedsheets later, will the line between hate and love start to thin? Will the two stay enemies? Or will Noah be the one to break down the cold, hard walls, that Jace so desperately tries to keep up?

Jackson, an introverted young man attends a bachelor party for his best friend at one of the hottest gay clubs in town. Not looking forward to the night's festivities but seeing no way out he attends with the intention of ducking out as soon as he possibly can. Of course, with his whole gang of friends in attendance as well as his best friend's groom to be wanting to dance, the night doesn't go quite as Jackson planned. Nor was he expecting to meet the eyes of a mysterious stranger that makes this introvert's heart skip its first beat.

By day, Miles Stewart is your below-average high schooler. Flying under the radar by the seat of his pants, trying to get through each day without drawing too much attention to himself. By night, he transforms into Sephora Utah, a drag queen who rules the club scene. His expressive alter ego, under whom he can be fully himself, safe from judgement. Those two aspects of his life have remained seperate for almost two years. But this precarious balance is tilted when his double life is discovered by Caleb Proust, under compromising circumstances. Under threat of losing his anonymity and lifestyle, Miles negotiates a mutual agreement that if one goes down, so will the other. Because, of course, no one knows Caleb is gay. As long as Miles has that to hold over his head, he should be able to make it to graduation. Just so long as he doesn't go and do something really stupid. Like fall in love. ~~~ WINNER: The Dead Poet Society Awards by @The DPSociety 1st Place in Teen Fiction: The Mono Awards {Silk Edition} by @themonocommitee 2nd Place in Teen Fiction: The Summer Smoothie Awards by @PhantomUnicorn Featured on @cupid 's Reading List {Cupid in the City} Featured on wattpad's @YA Reading List {Clueless} Featured on wattpad's @generalfiction Hidden Gems Reading List (Wattpad Outreach} ~ ~ ~ COVER DESIGN by cil @sereneur

In the beginning... he was like a storm: violent, dangerous, and perfectly capable of destroying everything in his path. He'd gotten his hands on everything needed to pin me in his trap. My home... my belongings... my life -- he could have taken any of them at any time, and I wouldn't have been allowed to so much as let out a single protest. In the end, though, what he ended up wanting more than anything else in the world was something I swore up and down I wouldn't ever give him. Me. 🌺👑💛👑🌺 Aerin Vanderhill is uncertain of who he is on the inside and what he really wants out of life. For seventy-five years, he's lived very quietly in a small but futuristic American town, sleeping during the day and occasionally meandering around at night, basically just wondering at his own depressing existence. His family is long dead and everyone he once loved is gone, so for him, all that's left is the silence of being alone... of mimicking life because its there and he has it. Its boring, but what's an awkward, socially inept vampire who's only true form of human contact comes through playing online video games supposed to do? Nothing. That's right, nothing. Because doing something would make him spiral. That's why he sticks to his routine, no matter how pointless it feels to him. Unfortunately, his simple way of living comes to an immediate end when a dangerous, beast-like man with strange powers and even stranger origins comes gallivanting into town, hunting for the so-called "leech" who lulls his victims to sleep before preying on them. Aerin is soon certain he's going to be murdered, but fate might just have other plans. (This is a story featuring male only romance. LGBT+) TRAILER INSIDE!

When Alistair Melek gave his life to the sea, a various degree of things changed. For starters, his love for bloodshed was exemplified. Bolder. He was drawn to the clash of a sword, blood spiling below to floorboards, like a moth drawn to a flame. And this love was damned to spread through his crew as some treacherous disease, claiming any and all who joined. But he knew this was the price he'd pay. The price for the sea itself. So when his crew completes another standard loot and pillage from a merchant ship, he allows his men a bit of fun. He liked to give them an audience, rounding up those who didn't fall victim to the blade during battle, and forcing them to beg for their lives. To prove how much they really wanted to live. Alistair had ruled the sea for some years now. Killed thousands, maybe tens of thousands. Destroyed hundreds, maybe thousands of vessels. And yet, each feeble human was all the same. There was not one man he threatened that didn't beg for their lives with all they had in them when faced with the wrong end of the sword. Each feeble human was always the same. Or so he thought. And yet, he also thought that this would be one standard job. A treat for his men after a night of good work. But this particular survivor, the one with long white hair and dead looking eyes... He wasn't a merchant. He couldn't have been. More important, there was no hesitancy when Alistair asked the fairly built man whether he wanted to live, and the man replied with a simple no.
