Completed ✔️ Would you kill for love? The world is a cruel place. Evil eyes roam around dark alleys. Malicious hands trace over the corpses of the people they killed. All of that under the clueless minds of innocent crowds, unaware that those thrown in rivers or burnt to ashes, could potentially be their relative. Samuel Thompson is your average carefree, funny and sometimes clumsy guy, but the façade he puts on doesn't change the fact that in the ignorance of his friends, he brings doom into people's life. Well, that was his job afterall. A hitman. But that same hitman didn't know that his life would shift around after a man moved into his apartment, wavering his feelings between friendship and love. Cameron Taylor started a one-sided rivalry with the main character, staying up at night, fuming at the very thought of his name, for whatever reason. But that same rivalry later turns into a passionate attachment where bloodshed was required to live on. And both of them were ready to take this oath.

Xavier has always been an unapologetically provocative man with minimal morals. As a secret agent working under an alias, seduction has always been his weapon of choice. He has a single weakness, his colleague and 'partner-in-law', Grayson Shelby. He is forced to swallow his unrequited love and manipulate everything like he always has as he plays the lethal game that his job demands. His electrifying desires escalate into a catastrophic blend of blazing lust, lurking dangers, and questioned sanity. How long can he resist?

Every Tuesday during football practice, sixteen year old Sem Bolton finds himself stealing glances at the gorgeous college boy jogging down the path next to the fields. He was his dirty little secret. His guilty pleasure. His unobtainable fantasy: safe and distant on the other side of the chainlink fence. Then, through a series of unpleasant events including being forced on a camping trip, it turns out his unobtainable fantasy is not so unobtainable after all. Not only is gorgeous college boy gay as well, he also wants to date Sem. Now, Sem was never one to play it safe. But outing himself was in a whole different league than testing his mother's patience or taking hits in the boxing ring. Was he really ready to date a guy, all consequences included? As if internal struggles weren't enough, count on girls, friends, and an estranged brother, to complicate stuff even further. Photo on the cover by: https://unsplash.com/@nickkarvounis
