They say you can't go home again. But what if home is the man you can't forget? Luca Romano left his small town and its narrow-minded whispers behind, trading them for a life of vibrant freedom as an openly gay photographer. But when a family emergency forces him back, he's thrust into a world of memories he'd rather forget. The last person he wants to see is Daniel his former best friend, his first love, and a secret chapter of his past he's desperately tried to burn. Daniel has painstakingly built the perfect, "normal" life: a respectable job, a house with a white picket fence, and a kind, loving fiancée. He's locked away his desires, his truth, and the boy he once was, convincing himself it was all just a phase. He's safe. He's straight. Or so he thought until one glimpse of Luca shatters the illusion completely.

Nox is dying. Marked by a curse no one understands, his once-vibrant birthmark fades with each passing day; an unspoken sentence counting down to his end. Alone on a desolate hillside, exhausted and broken, he clings to the last pieces of his fading life: a letter to his family, a worn sword, and a heart heavy with regret. Then, without warning, a stranger appears. Tall, dark, and silent, the man's arrival is both a mystery and a lifeline. There is something in his sharp, guarded gaze; a flicker of something deeper beneath the surface of his hardened exterior. In the face of death, what begins as wary dependence slowly shifts into something more powerful, an unspoken bond that neither of them expected but both desperately need. In the shadow of a fading curse and the weight of a broken past, Nox and the stranger find themselves drawn together by something neither dared to name. As life grows fleeting, their connection becomes a chance at salvation, not just of the body, but of the heart. Sometimes, love arrives when all seems lost.

(This was my very first story so I can acknowledge that there are some really cringy parts-aka I will be rewriting/revising very soon!) Asher King's life has revolved around putting up an involuntary mask to hide his true self. With successful parents boasting about his 'pretend' success, Asher feels as though the life he is living was never his to begin with, and a home of happiness is far out of reach. While the luxurious life is envied by most, Asher is only followed by social anxiety and suffocation in a life he doesn't want. The only place where he feels like he can genuinely escape is the little flower shop down the street, where he doesn't expect to find the school's star football player. Leo Gaines is Greenville's golden boy who is destined for success in the NFL. One would think that Leo would do anything to keep a squeaky clean reputation, but Leo would do anything to live a life for himself. Everyone seems to love the confidence he oozes but the subtle respect he always values. However, one thing doesn't fit the agenda: he is still coming to terms with his bisexuality. After multiple encounters with the mysterious boy from the flower shop he works at, Leo soon realizes that he can't help falling for the flower boy. Can Leo find the relationship of his dreams while trying to find a future in a world that exudes masculinity? Will Asher finally find authenticity that will break him free from the marionette puppet he is staged to play? Find out in "Flowers for Football."

What do you know about Vincent Russell? Well...most people don't know anything, considering he is an absolute closed book, which is ironic since his face is always shoved into an open one. If you happen to catch the attention of the grouch, there is no promise that he won't cuss you out or give a crap about you at first glance. The unbothered, quiet boy sure has a lot brewing on the inside from his uprising, but Vincent isn't the intimidating asshole everyone makes him out to be. ...But he does have a weakness: that annoying kid that pried his way into his life called Hayden Williams. So, who exactly is Hayden Williams? He's the definition of a train wreck. Most people are surprised that the social butterfly can even keep his head attached to his body. With the chaotic energy he brings to every room, any night can end in spin the bottle, inappropriate jokes, and possible jail time...kidding (not really). However, there is depth to every party animal. The remaining question is how on earth are these two best friends? Even better, how do these two become more than friends when their personalities conflict in every way possible? Follow them through the years of their lives in 'Lilies for a Lifetime.' **This is a spin-off of 'Flowers for Football.' It can be read as a stand-alone but many spoilers and scenes from the book will be mentioned**

What happens when you put two rival college athletes in the same room? If you said anything other than sliding straight into third base, you'd be wrong about Beckett Young and Prince Albright. Despite the hothead that Beckett Young is, he has a very bright future ahead of him in the MLS...as long as he doesn't screw it up first. However, he does have a long list of fuck-ups and factors that can contribute to said fuck-ups like insomnia, a failing appetite, an ill-mother, a past he refuses to confront, and so much more than he shoves down into the emotionally constipated person that he is. If you ask him, he'd definitely say he's justified in being a brat. As for Prince Albright, he couldn't be more different. Despite having a notorious reputation for sleeping around, the hockey captain is quite the people pleasing sweetheart, but not by choice. It comes at the cost of trying (and failing) to manage his mental health considering his OCD has come back and reared its ugly head. And like Beckett, he also has his fair share of hardships like a famous family that he can never please, an unsupportive team, and his slowly dwindling passion for hockey. With two broken people, that makes for one unconventional relationship-a messy arrangement that leaves their severed patterns and scrambled selves vulnerable to being adored by the other. You could even argue that their growing feelings toward one another causes a wrench in their plans. If you want a story full of complexity, chaos, and a few too many insults, this one is perfect for you.
