Just as there is someone at the bottom of the social hierarchy, there must be someone at the top. Elio lives as the schools perfect "Golden Boy". But even perfect boys have secrets. ******** His golden hair appeared almost silver under the moon. His eyes were just as steady and just as terrifying. I didn't dare take a breath. He dropped his hand and smiled and I winced. I literally winced. He gestured to my headphones and with shaky hands I slipped them off, watching his smile bleed across his face, dripping with a new kind of terror I couldn't quite place. "Hey," he said, light and typical of his golden boy persona, "I've seen you around at school." I blinked at him, not used to a conversation this civil proceeding a murder attempt. "I'm Elio," he smiled again. It didn't reach his eyes. Again. I swallowed, hard and dry. "I know." 🏅 #1- gayfiction- Apr 27, 2026 🥇 #1- gaypride- Apr 26, 2026 🥇 #1- Boyxboy- Dec 30, 2025🥇 #1- Slowburn- Dec 30, 2025🥇 #3- pride- Apr 28, 2026 🥉 #3- bxblove- Jan 03, 2026 🥉

Book One of the Haunted Lover's Duo "People in the real world always say, when something terrible happens, that the sadness and loss and aching pain of the heart will 'lessen as time passes', but it isn't true. Sorrow and loss are constant, but if we all had to go through our whole lives carrying them the whole time, we wouldn't be able to stand it. The sadness would paralyze us. So in the end we just pack it into bags and find somewhere to leave it." - Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother asked me to tell you she's Sorry. Still wrought with grief from the loss of his older brother, Eden Moir seeks out Malcolm Reed, the best SN lawyer currently working in the surface world. His intentions are mere justice for his brother, who was wrongfully murdered by hunters. Eden has been juggling work and home life, or more like drowning in it, and is in a constant struggle with the tight budget that is being washed away by his mother's drinking problem. Yet, Eden yearns for more as he gets to know Malcolm. He desires for the witch to be more than his lawyer, despite how detrimental it could be for his brother's case. Love is worth the risk, after all, right? Sadly, Malcolm might not see things the same way, looking at the bigger picture, not wanting to cost those around him the career he has built all for his own selfish wishes. But, in the end, there is something far worse at play, lurking beneath the shadows, waiting for the right moment to pounce... waiting for the right opportunity to dredge up the agony within Eden's heart once again.

The one whose entire life revolves around basketball. However, I caught his attention from the first time he laid eyes on me, and when he approached me with offerings of a date, I found myself determined to set the little bad boy off like a firework. Into the sky and away from me. Damon Stryker, captain of Duke University's basketball team, decided I was the one he wanted, and I tried so hard to ignore the way he spoke in that hard, stoic voice that left little room for arguments. If he's determined to capture his Firefly, then he needs to put in the work. We aren't supposed to be together. We have to remain a secret. If we're caught, it could spell disastrous consequences for both of us. But try as I may, I can't prevent myself from falling for the stoic man because he treats me like I'm the finest gem. I get lost in those villainous green eyes, and I'm hypnotized. But as Chapel Hill's cheer captain, rivaled against Damon's school, Duke, we would ruin our futures before they began. We can't be caught. If we were caught, Damon would lose his position on Duke's basketball team, effectively diminishing his chances of making it to the NBA. It doesn't help that the sports world is still as homophobic as they comes, so a gay relationship is out of the question. But we can't stay away from each other. We fall in love, live through our secret relationship for over two years, and when it comes to telling our families and the world? Well, it doesn't go according to plan. It will all fall down, but you need to understand how we build our story first. Otherwise, you won't be able to understand how our love ends up withstanding a great tragedy.

And Damon does come home. But nothing is the same anymore. Damon is traumatized, in pain, and afraid. He lost his brother. His hero. His partner in crime. And not only did he lose Ethan, he lost me as a result of his horrifying trauma. He'd been working through it, but there are areas he refuses to speak about-to the point that sometimes he refuses to speak at all. I have to rescue him. Our marriage. Our future. But that means he has to be willing to save himself. It's not going to be easy, but it will sure as hell be worth it. I've waited over two years for him to come home, and I can't lose him when I finally have him back.
