Viviano "Viv" Vitale is the newly checked in patient of a dull psychiatric ward after a quiet breakdown that no one in his life saw coming. He hates his name, his smile, and the way everyone keeps telling him he's "too normal to be here." Viv's instinct is to ignore his new non-binary, awkward and timid roommate completely. What follows is a slow, uneasy connection built through nighttime conversations when the rest of the ward is asleep. Viv doesn't understand his own pain, let alone anyone else's, but in trying to figure this person out, he might start seeing himself a little clearer too.

Landon Pierce was supposed to be the exception. His neighbor. His best friend. His first love. The boy who once pulled Evan out of the wreckage of his childhood and became the only place he ever felt safe. But high school changes things. Landon is louder now-brighter, adored, claimed by the varsity world that wants all of him... except the part that belongs to Evan. What was once easy becomes hidden. What felt unbreakable begins to fracture. Then Aiden Reyes shows up-quiet, observant, impossible to ignore. He doesn't demand anything from Evan. He just notices. And for the first time, Evan feels seen without having to disappear. As jealousy hardens into lies and the past tightens its grip, Evan is forced to confront a truth he's been avoiding: The boy who once saved him may be the one hurting him most. And the boy he never expected might be the first to choose him freely. But how do you walk away from the person who taught you what love was in the first place?

~WATTYS SHORTLIST 2025~ Hunter Dannings was a young CEO who had given up on love. But when he met River Conyers, a single dad and bar owner, his life began to change. Being around River gave him hope, and being around his daughter, Melodie, let Hunter imagine creating the family he's always wanted. But River doesn't let people in easily. And falling for him puts Hunter at risk for more heartbreak than he's ever known. ----- "Thanks for bringing me home." "It's no problem," Hunter shrugged, crossing his arms against the bitter Toronto cold. "You did the same for me." "Yeah," River started in, but paused, fingers tightening around the doorknob. "Maybe I should return the favor." In two large steps, River stepped in front of Hunter. His breath left his lips in small clouds as he stared determinedly at Hunter's mouth. Hunter's body was confused. After battling the oncoming winter chill for so long, it was strange to suddenly have River in front of him, warming his skin from proximity alone. Fingertips tinged pink by the cold reached up, grabbing Hunter's jacket and using the fabric to pull the taller man down. "You were gone for so long and never reached out," River croaked, fists tightening around the fabric of Hunter's coat. "Never sent me a text or gave me a call." "I'm sorry." "Are you?" River's whispered words warmed Hunter's lips, teasing him with the promise of more. "Then prove it." __________________________________ Highest Rankings: #1 mxm/malexmale/manxman #1 gayness/unlimitedpride #1 parent/singleparent #1 nosmut #3 gay #3 lgbtlove/lgbtlovestory #4 gaylove #5 fallinginlove #7 bxblove #16 wattpride #35 lgbt #64 bxb #96 boyxboy #99 single-parent #136 lgbtq #200 BL Date Started: 02/02/2024 Date Completed: 10/4/2024

[BOOK FOUR] Leo Morelli has a reputation. He's a heartbreaker. It's chronic. Felix Finley had a reputation. A less fun one. He left it behind. He wants it to stay buried forever. Only when he joins the national volleyball team, old secrets get a little difficult to keep. Felix and Leo have met before. They have history. It's complicated. There's something brewing between them. There has been for a while. Tension. It's palpable. Unavoidable. However, neither of them do feelings.

They happen anyway, and when they do, things get messy.

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.)
