Between sarcasm, secrets, and stolen moments, falling for Damien was the easiest bad decision Nate ever made. Nate's life? Not fine. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he's trying to keep it together one day at a time. But then there's Damien-walking chaos in human form. Charming, cocky, and hotter than the sun, Damien has this talent for getting under Nate's skin like no one else can. Worse? He's tempting. Like, moth-to-a-flame tempting. And those stolen glances Damien gives-like Nate's the most precious thing on earth? They're not helping. Damien is off-limits and trouble-a heartbreak in human form, the ultimate fuckboy. But resisting him? Feels impossible. And if Nate's not careful, Damien might burn his whole world down-and Nate might just let him.

"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. 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 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. Perhaps who he wants to be. - "Broken Hearts Café" is a 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.

Eighteen year old Ethan is autistic, loves plants, and sometimes makes bad choices. Like going for a walk at the bottom of a seaside cliffside when the tide is coming in. He might die. Rue's just finished high school and now he's stuck in a rut-and in the closet-with no social life and a home life he'd rather avoid. He's engaging in one of his favourite hobbies, stranding himself on the beach and waiting for the tide to free him, when he spots someone less intentionally stuck in the same predicament.

Desmond Crenshaw doesn't have much going for him. He street races for cash, deals drugs to get by, and drags himself through each day with only one goal: survival. He's a reckless high school dropout with very few talents that won't get him arrested-definitely not someone you'd want around your child. Vaughn Torres agrees, he's been seeking a solid reason to cut off the friendship between the troublemaker and his daughter since the day they met. He gets one, too, when Des's vices begin to bleed into their lives and Winter is officially in danger. Des is given an ultimatum: he can only be around Winter if he distances himself from the crime. There's only one way to do that. A change of employment, specifically to Vaughn's mechanic shop, though that balance is a lot easier said than done. No, things for Des are never that simple. Not when he's working under the watchful eye of a man who hates him. Not when he starts genuinely wanting to be better, and is faced with the rocky road of leaving a life of crime entirely. And especially not when he's been in love with Winter's dad for years.

And when Rowan starts catching feelings for Graham, he knows he has to get out of that house as soon as possible.
