Alex never stood a chance at blending in. Everyone in the supernatural world hates his father... which means they hate him too. Once surrounded by friends, he's now alone.

Now, Theo lives under constant pressure, hiding bruises, and punished for every crack in his perfect alpha mask. And then there's Alex...the one person Theo should stay away from. Theo has hated Alex for as long as he can remember. For years, he joined in as his friends picked Alex apart, piece by piece, bullying him. Then came the summer before senior year. That night, at the party, Theo turned eighteen... and everything changed. He found out the truth: Alex is his mate. Now Theo can't run. Not at school. Not even in his dreams. But Theo doesn't break easily. He has rules. He has to stay in control. Even if it means hurting Alex, again and again. Alex has changed too. He's not the scared, quiet boy who used to flinch when someone looked at him too long. He's colder now. Quieter. Untouchable. And maybe that's what scares Theo the most, because Alex doesn't just walk away anymore. He stares back. He doesn't run. And no matter how far Theo drifts, no matter how much Theo pushes, Alex won't stop... not until he gets what he wants. And what he wants... is Theo. Because what happens when the thing you were taught to hate... is the only thing that can save you?

19-year-old Ryker had finally done it for better or worse. Broken away from his abusive father. Taking a job at Wilmoria's Café, he hoped for a quiet new beginning- somewhere he could rebuild his life, focus on trying to graduate high school, and rediscover a sense of safety. But his plan for solitude is quickly upended when he meets Mickey- Micah Jackson- a warm yet complex, rough around the edges 22-year-old baker and recent college grad who's been at the café for years... but seems to be involved in a whole lot more than just a café, judging by the track bike he rides, the money he always has on him, and the mysterious company he keeps. As Ryker learns the rhythms of his new life- the smell of vanilla treats, fresh bread, and coffee beans; the hum of the espresso machine and the soft laughter of coworkers... Mickey becomes his unexpected constant. What begins as mutual hatred between them both slowly deepens into something Ryker never thought he could have. Trust. And love. But healing isn't simple. Between confronting his past, his mistakes, and learning to open his heart to a guy with far too many layers to be just a baker, Ryker must decide whether he can truly believe in a future where he's safe and genuinely loved for who he is, all while he discovers who exactly he is. Perhaps who he wants to be. - "Broken Hearts Café" is a hilarious yet ultimately tender story about rebuilding after trauma, finding family in unexpected places- a café, a biker club- as well as the courage it takes to love again after getting it so utterly wrong the first time.

BOOK ONE Coming out was supposed to set Julian free. Instead, it left him with a broken arm, a mother who won't stop preaching, and a silence that grows heavier every day. High school feels like a cage, and Julian is certain he doesn't belong anywhere-until Paul crashes into his world. With his inked skin, effortless charm, and a following that makes him untouchable, Paul should be the last person Julian lets close. Loving Paul means risking exposure, rejection, and heartbreak all over again. Worse, it means facing the cruelest voice of all-the one inside Julian's own head. Tender, raw, and unflinching, Open is a story about first love, first heartbreak, and finding the courage to believe you're worthy of both. ::: I could feel it when his body finally went slack, when he'd fallen asleep and soft snores emitted. And I thought I was getting better at this breaking down thing... I honestly did but when I was alone, I seemed to fall apart. Endless serenades of how worthless I'd been and how destructive I was; I was a disappointment to literally everyone and I hated it. My breathing became shallow as I cried for the second time that day, finally feeling content being immersed in guilt. A shudder wracked through my body, tears escaping and Paul pulled me closer as he woke silently. Mumbling soft nothings against my skin and kissing it to slow my breathing, he tried to lull me to sleep, "It's okay, you're okay." Refusing to speak -my voice failing me- his arm came up to wrap around my shoulder and I held him there, placing a small kiss to his tattooed skin in a broken sign of gratitude, I must've run out of tears. And I felt at ease.

[BxB] Aiden Rowe never asked for hockey. He doesn't like the cold, the crowds or the jocks. He'd much rather spend his time watching birds. But when he gets stuck covering the Port Howe Puffins for the school paper, his senior year suddenly revolves around freezing rinks, team dinners, deadlines and a sport he doesn't really understand. Somewhere between the chaos though, he finds someone who actually sees him and maybe hockey and Port Howe aren't the worst things after all. A soft, quirky and occasionally unhinged story about finding warmth (and love) in the unlikeliest of places. Content warning: lots of bird nerding Note: This is very much a queer romance with mature themes. Cover by @surrenderedstories

This is a story about a hockey team, but above all, a story about boys. Brooks Myers is the captain of the Oakridge Otters and he's willing to do whatever it takes to hear his name called at the NHL draft next summer.

In Brooks' eyes, Elias is nothing but an obstacle in his way and Elias just wants to survive the year, and forget. Both boys live and breathe hockey. Both boys are lost in their own lives, but have to work together to win a Championship. Can they learn to play together despite their differences? Is there something in life worth more than hockey? In the end, the line between obsession, desire, and love is thinner than either of them dares to admit.
