𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑 𝐘𝐀 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 For bipolar fifteen-year-old Aaron, growing up in '90s Dublin, being gay is a choice. It is a choice between risking alienation from his conservative Catholic family and close-minded friends or drowning under the weight of his secrets. So discovering he is falling in love with his witty, bi-racial best friend, Robbie, an aspiring actor, plunges Aaron into a sea of confusion. Swimming against the tide of expectations, the young men set a course through sex, drugs and Bowie concerts, an outlet from a world that doesn't understand them. But weighted under the pressure of maintaining a double life, Aaron sinks into a deep depression. When a shocking incident puts his life in perspective, Aaron must decide whether staying silent and invisible is worth losing the only love he has ever known for.

This is a FREE book with PAID exclusive chapters. The Whitlock Curse has finally taken Luke's grandmother, leaving him all alone in this world. And now that she's gone, all her secrets are pouring out, including the one where she stole from A DRAGON. Cassian Alwyn, a rare black dragon has come to take back his Fortress Ring, so he can hibernate for the next thousand years... problem is, Luke doesn't know where it is. Forced to work together, Luke and Cassian butt heads immediately and finding the ring seems impossible. It doesn't help that Cassian holds Luke's grandmother's thievery against him, but after fighting off a witch with similar ambitions, slowly the two men get to know each other and find that there's something better than being alone... being with each other. Cassian wonders if he can forgive while Luke hopes that a dragon could survive the Whitlock curse, but when they get closer to their prize, it proves more difficult to change their plans especially when Luke and Cassian only put each other in more danger. ~ Enemies to Lovers ~ Forced proximity ~ Slow Burn ~ "I hate everyone but you" trope
