Four roommates, Kyle, Josh, Leo, and Jackson all had a normal friendship with each other. Except two of them are more than what they tell people. Secrets come out and confusion sets in as they all find themselves falling for each other. More Than Just Roommates explores the lives of these four boys during their sophomore year of college, and how they overcome the challenges of accepting who they are and finding out what true love is. **Completed!** There are two spin off books that both take place after this books ends (The New Kid, and Denial). If you chose to read either of both of them first, then just be aware that you will find spoilers for the end of this book. Disclaimer: I wrote this book way back in like 2015, when I was a young, newbie writer. It's a bit chaotic, especially the beginning, but I hope you stick it out. I love these boys and, if you end up reading through the whole series (which involves more than just the two spin offs mentioned above), then you get to see how I've evolved as a writer over time.

Dane has always been Mr. Chill. His friends think of him as the centered, calm, even kind of guy. He plays the piano. Bakes on the weekends. Does good in school. Always follows the rules. Everyone relies on him for comfort and support, knowing he is the poster boy for common sense no matter what the situation. But... Really, he has a past. And it's not pretty. Well, it IS smoking hot but he's not proud of it. And now that his past has come to walk the halls of his high school, his image as the boring but safe nerd is crumbling all around him. === This is part two of Best Friends. It will make far more sense if you read that book first. The description sounds kind of moody and dark, but actually, honestly, it's going to be funny. There's a high school musical, lots of gay sex, and angsty misunderstandings and mix ups. It's my version of Nerd/Jock . Enjoy!!

This is the third book in the Best Friends Series. Life in their small town is steadily turning sour. Two families decide it's time for a change. But are they making the right decision?

We left our heroes finally at peace. (sort of) Everyone in love and ready to spend the rest of their lives together. After much drama and heartache, they are truly ready for their happily ever after. ... As long as no one talks about their dreams. Author's Note: This is not a stand alone book. But the fourth book in the Best Friends Series. 1. Best Friends 2. My Mistakes 3. Decisions Also, it will greatly have helped for you to read my other series Roomies 1. Roomies 2. Quarantine 3. Recovery

Cameron's normal if boring life goes through some big changes when his mom invites her student, a seventeen year old lacrosse player, and his baby sister to move in with them. Ryan finds himself living with Cameron, a shy boy whose nose is always in his books. But every night they go to sleep in the same room. And...well...you know.

This is the sequel to Roomies. This book takes place immediately following two of our boys' marriage, and at the beginning of quarantine lock down in California. Our four heroes set up residence together....and well....you know....they have to do SOMETHING to while away the hours. This book will make far more sense if you've read the first book. It is a gay, polyamorous romance with explicit scenes along with a decent amount of plot and fluff. So if that's not your thing, find a different book to enjoy.

Carter Parrish lived a happy, simple life with his mom, and knowing she had found her way back to love was the best news he could have ever received. But love leads to marriage, and marriage brought him a new stepfather, a new house, six new stepbrothers and one especially obnoxious stepsister. When the place he is meant to call home starts to feel like a test to his good-will and patience, Carter needs an escape. He might find just that where he least expects it, after meeting a smart boy with a snarky sense of humor and a secret he doesn't seem to good at hiding, who just so happens to be his football coach's son. Somebody said "change is inevitable, growth is optional". Carter just wished they had left a footnote about how hard it can be. *STORY CONTAINS MULTIMEDIA*

In the Astor Group Ice Arenas, the worlds of ice hockey and figure skating merge by the border between working-class Brunson and the upper-crust Lake City. Liam Astor is the boy everyone knows. Everyone knows he's the son of the CEO of Astor Investments Group. Everyone knows he only skates with his partner. Everyone knows his favorite hobby is turning heads and slacking jaws. And everyone knows he had a summer fling with another boy when he went away before senior year. Eli Blake is the boy who's lost too much to throw his goals all away for distractions. He has a plan to make it out of Brunson, and it involves throwing himself at his chances of a pro career with the NHL. No college, no grades, no detours except whatever he strictly has to do to get by and make it to his ultimate goal. Eli is a mystery to Liam. And Liam is too enticing for Eli to be able to resist. Maybe the boy everybody knows has a secret side to him as well. And maybe, the boy who can't afford distractions could use one after all.

**SEQUEL TO BREAKING THE ICE** Liam Astor is home. Home where his family is. Home where is skating partner stayed. Home where he trains every day to make his Olympic dreams come true. Home, where he had to throw himself into his career, so he doesn't lose himself in memories of a near-love who fell apart before it fully took form. Eli Blake left. He left to a new country, a new city, a new life. He left to follow his plan. He left to become the person he promised himself he would be, doing what he does best. He left to live his pro hockey dream, away from all the reminders of a life being his true, unashamed self, which he knew he could never have. Liam thinks about Eli every day. And Eli can't forget, no matter how hard he tries. Maybe there's a reason neither of them can let go. And maybe there's still hope.
