"What am I to you, then?" I asked him. "A damn project?" "Nothing like that," Mickey replied. "There's a saying I wholeheartedly believe. That art is never completed, Ryk, it's only abandoned." I felt the air between us shift again. It had a tendency to do that when we were at odds. When I struggled to understand this thing between us. "And you should know something bout me by now. That I'm a bit of a completionist." Mickey drew in closer, bringing our faces the closest they had probably ever been to each other. "I've never abandoned a damn fucking thing in my life." - Nineteen-year-old Ryker had finally done it for better or worse. Broken away from his abusive father.

But his plan for solitude is quickly upended when he meets Mickey- Micah Jackson- a warm yet complex 22-year-old baker and recent college grad who's been at the café for years. 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, affection, and love. But healing isn't simple. Between confronting his past, his mistakes, and learning to open his heart, Ryker must decide whether he can truly believe in a future where he's safe, seen, and genuinely loved for who he is, all while he discovers who exactly he is.

The gods have always relied on the human race, and the human race the gods. Yet the mortal world, as time has progressed for them, has changed this dynamic considerably. Some gods have kept their titles, still basking in the worship the humans have given them under their original names. Then there were the gods who learnt to adjust, much like my family, and the names they've named claim to have adapted much like the human world. The last were gods who have faded through time. Gods no longer worshipped due to their irrelevance, or the sheer history of havoc they wreaked upon humans centuries ago, when gods could once walk the earth. Gods not worthy of being worshipped. Now the rules are different; gods cannot mingle amongst humans unless their power specifically calls for it. They can only influence the mortal world. And Zeus has found himself in some hot water these last few centuries because of this, because of his troubled past with the humans resurfacing. Think of it as society digging up some really old tweets and deciding to cancel you centuries later. But those tweets contain some of the worst atrocities known to man. Something to that effect. Somehow, he's managed to convince a concerning amount of gods that this wasn't just his fight. That it was all of ours... which I, and some other gods knew for a fact that it was not. His solution to a problem he more or less created? A do-over. Leave it to Zeus to flip the table whenever he was losing in a board game. How utterly childish.

By the dictionary, normal is defined as usual, typical, or expected. However, most people want to be different, to be unique, to stand out amongst the crowd. Cody Monroe wants the opposite.

When Cody's 'normal' is threatened by the sudden appearance of two unique brothers, friendships are threatened, and secrets begin to surface. And with heroes and villains alike disappearing left and right, some fear they are next, while others only want to resume their 'normal.'

Warning: RWB spoilers ahead. Some say the best love stories often take time. Emery Chernychevsky has had a crush on Cameron Brooks since he can remember. Watching him date different girls all throughout high school was nothing if not pure torture, especially when he knew he didn't stand a chance against any of them. Safe to say, he spent his single years in a long-term ache he did not once divulge to anyone, but even that did not come close to the night Cameron confessed. The night Cameron confessed his undying love for someone else. Realizing that he was hopelessly and irretrievably in love with Cameron wasn't easy, and finding out that Cameron was hopelessly and irretrievably in love with his best friend was no picnic either. Things weren't certainly made better when their friends decided to spend the entire summer holed up together in Blake's summer house, putting Emery's initial plan of getting over Cameron before he starts college into a ten-week-long agonizing pause. Of course, be that as it may, fate has had a nick of testing Emery's patience... as it only gets a little worse━then, a little better━and right back to irremediable worst of worst from there. Spin-off to Rage With Benefits. Can be read as a stand-alone but a number of references will be made from the first book.
