When Alistair Melek gave his life to the sea, various degrees of things changed. For starters, his love for bloodshed was exemplified. Bolder. He was drawn to the clash of a sword, blood spilling below the 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 a 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 importantly, there was no hesitancy when Alistair asked the fairly built man whether he wanted to live, and the man replied with a simple no.

After uncovering a series of grisly murders, the Holy Church sends Seren to investigate one of their prime suspects; a mysterious dhampir named Lore Seymour. Although a seemingly kind man and wonderful father, Lore's life is a riddle overcome by tragedy that may or may not have come by his own hands. His actions are an enigma, often pushing Seren away while also dragging him closer. Through time spent together, Seren begins to see Lore, and his wacky family, in a different light. Could it be that the church sent Seren there to set Lore up? All that he has been taught by the church, who saved him from a gruesome fate, starts to sound like a lie, but the life of a paladin is all Seren has ever known. As suspicion fades and love blossoms, Seren's forced to test not only his faith, but also his entire purpose in life. Can he truly set aside his grievances against vampires to love that which he has been trained to kill?

Dane has always been Mr. Chill. His friends think of him as the centered, calm, even kind of guy. He plays the piano. Bakes on the weekends. Does good in school. Always follows the rules. Everyone relies on him for comfort and support, knowing he is the poster boy for common sense no matter what the situation. But... Really, he has a past. And it's not pretty. Well, it IS smoking hot but he's not proud of it. And now that his past has come to walk the halls of his high school, his image as the boring but safe nerd is crumbling all around him. === This is part two of Best Friends. It will make far more sense if you read that book first. The description sounds kind of moody and dark, but actually, honestly, it's going to be funny. There's a high school musical, lots of gay sex, and angsty misunderstandings and mix ups. It's my version of Nerd/Jock . Enjoy!!

Irekan is in trouble. He likes a boy, and the problem isn't that the boy likes him back-the problem is he's not supposed to be gay. Moving to Nigeria was supposed to be his blank slate, a chance to successfully pray the gay away. But he failed, and things only go downhill from here. Life was never going to be easy for Irekan-he's Nigerian, and that's already minus one on his good life bingo card. But with exams around the corner and Nosa smiling at him like he created the firmaments, he doesn't really have time for riots and parental abuse. Yet, he finds himself swept up in the whirlwind of police brutality protests, his parents are scheming, and everyone thinks he's some kind of martyr when he just wants to be in love in peace. With academic pressure mounting, the threat of his family moving back abroad, and one heck of a secret romance, Irekan is forced to choose between those who see him for who he truly is and living a lie. [☺︎︎ This is a sequel to Serendipity ☺︎︎ Nigerian, queer story ☺︎︎ This book contains multiple phrases in pidgin English. Feel free to comment if you don't understand anything.]

Ten different lives. Two boys. One night that'll bring them all together. Sixteen year old Nosa is okay with being a loner. He doesn't have social anxiety-- he's Catholic and his mum promised you can't love Jesus and have a disorder. He's just weird and he's not good at talking to people but that doesn't mean there's something wrong with him. It does mean that he and Irekan could never be friends. Irekan's parents moved them back to Nigeria to straighten him up-- literally. Being Nigerian and queer has never been easy but now he has to at least try to 'ungay' himself to keep his family together. And that means no falling in love with Nosa's stupid face. Two boys fall in love over novels, anime and rock music that's definitely going to get one of them killed. ❀Winner: 2022 Pride Awards Teen Fiction Category❀ ❀2nd Place Winner: 2022 Pride Awards❀ ❀Featured on the AmbassadorsNG reading list❀ ❀Featured on Stories Undiscovered August 2022 reading list❀ ❀Featured on AmbassadorsAF reading list❀ __Highest Rankings__ #1 wattpadnigeria (3/08/2022) #1 Africanbook (8/05/2022) #1 Africanlgbt (8/05/2022) #5 Blackboys (12/05/2022) #2 Nigerianbook (15/07/2022) #13 Young Adult Fiction (23/06/2024) **This is a bl and it features multiple queer characters.
