In a world where fire demons are hunted and ice demons enforce the law, rogue fire demon Cade spirals into feral rage after being rejected by his fated mate. Consumed by his uncontrollable flames, Cade becomes a danger to all around him. Ice demon Lucian Frost, a skilled handler with a tragic past, is sent to subdue him. Lucian's human mate was killed by a feral fire demon, but his compassion for tortured souls drives him to save Cade rather than destroy him. As Lucian takes control of Cade using dominance and icy restraint, the two form a powerful choice bond-one forged through trust, submission, and mutual need. Their bond grows stronger than the fated connection Cade lost, challenging the world's laws of fire and ice. Together, they must navigate the dangers of their enemies and their own fears, discovering that love and strength come from the bonds we choose, not the ones destiny hands us. This dark, romantic journey explores the balance between pain and pleasure, control and freedom, as Lucian and Cade find solace in each other's arms, proving that sometimes the strongest bonds are the ones we choose. #1 in #mxm (12/13/24)

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, affection, 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, seen, 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. [MATURE 18+] - Explicit chapters have warnings at the beginning Spin-off to It All Started With A Kiss (This book can be read as a standalone.)

Jamie is excited to finally be on campus. It's time to find his kind of people - gay, that is. Instead, he finds a blindingly handsome straight guy who keeps following him around, calling him 'roomie' (they're not roommates), and breaking through every defense Jamie has put up. Is it possible for a stranger to imprint on you like that? And is Davis as straight as he says he is? Tropes: college romance, slow burn, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, gay for you, bisexual awakening. No trigger warnings. Mature rating for a few sexually explicit scenes. P.S. This story is written, so don't worry. I will publish new chapters every Tuesday and Friday. By the way, this is my first story and I'm excited to hear what you think! Feel free to leave comments and tell me your thoughts. Yayyy.
