"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

The boys must sort out their feelings amongst each other, trauma from recent events, the truth behind the war that is bringing this world to an end, and how to stop it. *Yes, this is gay.

What are we without flesh and blood? Are we nothing but a beating heart in a ribcage, a marching soul inevitably leading to our demise? Or are we here as a test of loyalty to our God, a God we do not know but must trust? And without this trust, we will be punished indefinitely for questioning his divinity. And what is a sheep without his shepherd? Without God, are we nothing but sheep led astray? How will we be guided to the light without a shepherd on earth? Should we trust our shepherd to tell us the truth? Or will we be covered in the blood of the lamb? A shepherd with blood on his hands could infect his flock with poison. And with this poison, he has control. And to Luke, this poison is all he knows. His seventeen years of life have been devoted to nothing else but God. He wakes up, goes to school or church, and sleeps; rinse and repeat. There is no place or time for anything else in his life, such as television, going out with friends, or discovering new hobbies. His father, Pastor Ivy, ensures this. His life purpose will be to serve the Lord and nothing else. A purpose that Luke believes is the right way. What else would there be to life? He hadn't questioned this until he met Gabriel, a man who was the complete opposite of him. A man who was strong in his sense of self. A man who didn't bow to anyone or anything and stood firm in his beliefs in The Church of Satan. A man who Luke feared. But also a man who felt like home to him.

I always knew I didn't belong. Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University was supposed to be my fresh start - a chance to keep my head down, focus on premed, and outrun the shadows of my past. But from the moment I step on campus, everything changes. It starts with Aiden Thorne - the university god with golden retriever charm and a smile that makes my heart race. Then there's Kieran Wolfe - sharp-tongued and dangerous, yet somehow soft when his eyes land on me. Kai Mercer is my silent protector, fierce and watchful, like he's ready to tear the world apart to keep me safe. And Damon Blackwell... cold, ruthless, and unreadable, but when no one's looking, his actions speak louder than any words. They shouldn't notice me. But they do. When they touch me, sparks ignite beneath my skin, a heat I can't explain. And as much as I try to keep my distance, they pull me closer - unraveling secrets I never asked to know and feelings I'm not ready to face. But there's something about them. Something different. They're not just rich. Not just powerful. Falling for them could be the most dangerous thing I've ever done. But some fires aren't meant to be extinguished. Some are meant to burn. No MM interactions.
