Vion Catelli had it all. Well, technically, half of it all. And that was the problem. He only have half of it. Half the ports. Half of the trade routes. Half of the underground passages. Half of the intel. Half of the men in this city actually worth a damn when faced with the gun funneling and drug trafficking lifestyle. He only had half of it- the bloody city that was Boston. And he wanted it all.

Evelynn Marsano has been gone for a year, but very little has changed. Her brother's still a legend in underground races. The same girls still hate her. The same boy still makes her heart race and resolve weak. But this time she won't let him get close enough to hurt her. Not again. Not like before. Westen Burke just arrived to town and he's only staying long enough to set up a few street bike races, make some money, and have some fun. But he might stir up some trouble when he begins hanging around his sponsor's sister, and it's not just her brother he's pissing off. -------------------------------------------------------- Warning: You can expect a lot of street racing, tattoo's, fights, drugs, mature language, and other mature content, so READER BE AWARE!! ***APRIL 2025: Ride will be updated daily***

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.

ORION GRAVES has always been on top. A straight-A, high honors student. Top of his class on the path to valedictorian and an Ivy League school. Until suddenly, that all changes. Orion was outed as transgender at his old school, and became victim to relentless harassment. Not to mention that in June of his junior year, his mother lost her battle with cancer. Now, he must move in with his father-whom he hasn't seen since his parent's divorce when he was 8. Moving all the way from Red, California to Lakeview, Maine, he has to start from the very beginning. But, as he starts his senior year in a brand-new school he's quick to learn that it's not going to be easy to get back on top, nor keep his head down and stay under the radar like old times. Because there's Caleb. CALEB MITCHELL, the star child of Lakeview. Honored for being so well-rounded he probably shouldn't get too close to a hill. Not only that, but he's nice. And funny. And surprisingly good-looking. And Orion's new best friend. But Caleb's lost someone too, and is struggling just as much; this perfect kid suddenly not so perfect anymore. He's got his own demons, and pressures, and a heavy depression holding him back. And yet, through these shared struggles, their friendship somehow manages to blossom into something so much more sacred. ---------- Cover and story by me, @devenwrites Official Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XONF7xeRhcFwDBWpbxmsB?si=7s4Whhq-RlewQIiya3UwQw

For as long as Maia Brandy knew she had always kept herself buried in her work. Being one of the full time lead editors to a prestigious company in New York City tended to keep her busy, and the numerous dates her best friends put her on definitely left no time for her to focus on anything else in her life, like an actual steady relationship. She went on the dates, but never actually dated any one of the men she met. Her life was normal, repetitive and actually began to grow tedious, but she never seemed to change any of it. Maia basked in the comfort and ignored that her mind craved something more than what she already had, that is of course until one day she meets someone new. The handsome, rich, and extremely secretive, Aron Noir King. One broken down elevator ride. A few measly glances. And some simple exchange in conversation seemed to change her entire life from the typical unvarying days. Suddenly she is pulled into something she had never signed up for. Desire, love, deceit, illegal businesses and secret arrangements would create something that would change her life completely, for better or for worse, it will turn their worlds up side down. 18+ *** #1 in rich #1 in forcedproximity #1 in attraction #1 in obsession #1 in mysterious #1 in egotistic

Soren never asked to be the only faerie on campus who can see ghosts. Because honestly? It's kind of a nightmare. Between dodging chatty spirits in the hallways, and constantly being late because some 200-year-old ghost will not move from the dorm entrance, Soren has enough problems. And after Soren loses his protective charm, things get worse. The ghosts aren't just harmless annoyances anymore. Some of them are dangerous. The shadows are getting darker, the spirits are getting hungrier, and Soren is seeing things that no faerie should ever be able to see. Soren would love to focus on literally anything else, like figuring out how to make a certain angel fall in love with him or passing his exams, but first? He needs to fix this before he ends up as just another ghost on campus.
