[Wattpad HQ Featured-Community Pride Recommendations 2025] || 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐍 || @Wattpad @lgbtq (x2) @ContemporaryLit {9𝐗 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝} ________________ Bentley Kai, a 24-year-old, lost everything: his money, house, job, and girlfriend in less than twenty-four hours. Devastated by the series of events, he spends his last coins at a bar, completely wasted, when he is picked up by Damian Giovanni, a multi-billionaire and the CEO of Giovanni Imperial. Placed in a tight spot, Bentley begs Damian to allow him to stay until he can find a place of his own. In a haste to secure a job that can sustain him, he throws himself back into the drowning pool of the corporate world, pushing aside his dream of becoming a chef. Damian, seeing his potential and love for cooking, advises him to follow his heart. Their bond grows stronger as they spend time learning and working together, but Damian silences his feelings, skeptical about Bentley's feelings for him. Even if they love in secret, what are the chances they'll last a lifetime with the dramatic challenges ahead? © Kikibtsstan 2024-2026

"You're mine now. You may not have known what you were getting yourself into by walking into my life like that, Whitlock. But this is it now.

Across continents, two hearts beat in silence-one filled with privilege and power, the other with hope and aspiration. Elias Matthews, the heir to a medical empire, has everything but the love he desires.

When their lives entwine, the stakes will be higher than either could have imagined.

Nikolas Bellucci Aleksandr Mikhailov is dangerous. I didn't just see it-I felt it. Every nerve in my body screamed to run the moment his sharp green eyes locked onto mine. His stare wasn't casual; it was predatory, deliberate. Like he wanted to consume every part of me and leave nothing behind. What had I done to deserve his attention? I'm a nobody. I prefer shadows over spotlights. I don't want to be anyone's Donna, their treasure, or their little prince or princess. But Aleksandr? He doesn't care what I want. Even when his hands skim over my skin, making it impossible to fight back, impossible to breathe. Even when my traitorous heart races whenever he calls me his printsessa. I'm a man. The last mafia prince of the Bellucci family. Arranged marriages, political games-it's all supposed to be beneath me. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. But Aleksandr Mikhailov doesn't ask. He takes. And some part of me, despite everything, might just want to be taken. Aleksandr Mikhailov Nikolas Bellucci is a work of art-beautiful, dangerous, and far too proud for his own good. I knew I wanted him the moment I saw him. My uncle Ivan always said, What a Mikhailov wants, he takes. Rules? Irrelevant. Boundaries? Meant to be shattered. Nikolas fights me, yes-but he'll break eventually. They always do. And when he does, I'll be there to catch him, to hold him, to ruin him until he's mine entirely. My printsessa.

BOOK I in The Undercurrent Trilogy Kehinde Adegbite-Falana, brilliant Harvard grad turned Lagos lawyer, never imagined his life would be turned upside down by a man like Briggs. But when his sister Tomiwa ropes him into helping Briggs with a criminal case, it's more than just a simple legal favor. Briggs isn't just any client. He's a streetwise agbero, with ties that reach deep into the underbelly of Lagos, and as Kehinde digs deeper into Briggs' case, he uncovers a web of lies and manipulation that forces him to confront not only the legal system but his own carefully guarded desires. What was meant to be a professional obligation soon turns into something far more dangerous: an irresistible connection that neither man can ignore. Kehinde's family, bound by tradition and expectations, would never accept his growing feelings for a man like Briggs. But the threats to their love don't just come from Kehinde's family. The past is clawing its way back into their lives, and the powerful man who once held Briggs in his grasp is now targeting both men, determined to destroy their fragile love before it can even begin. As danger circles and the weight of their secrets becomes too heavy to bear, Kehinde must make a choice: Can he fight for the man he loves, even if it means confronting the demons of both their pasts? Or will the threat of betrayal, violence, and family loyalty tear them apart? IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS #1 in mmromance #5 in gayromance #1 in lagos #1 in nigerianfiction #1 in newread #2 in queerromance

Dawson is- most people who don't know him would say- as straight as they come. And senior year away from home promises to be a big year for him: no parents in sight, a whole new set of friends, he just seems to have it all. Not to mention that all the pretty girls of the very private Wharton High are dying to get a taste of the new talk of the school. If only he could get Adam Hamilton's eyes out of his head. * "He dislikes him so much he is annoyed by the mere sound of his breathing. He dislikes him so much that he can't bring himself to ignore him; that even the way his stupid glasses perfectly sit on his symmetrical nose exasperates him; and his ridiculously blue eyes that take different shades of blue based on his mood and now Dawson knows that apathy is the ocean whereas rage is a starless night sky. And his jawline looks like it was sculpted by the hands of Michelangelo, but he dislikes him so much he can't look at his face without feeling his cheeks flush in anger. Truth is, Dawson dislikes him because Hamilton did something that no other person- despite their best efforts- ever managed to do. He made him feel weak."

I was 10 when my Mother sat me down for a talk. "Milo, I know you like him..." She paused, as if trying to pick her words right, "but he doesn't like boys like that. He likes girls." Flushed and feeling caught out, I avoid her eyes. I didn't realise it was so obvious. She gives me a sympathetic but firm smile. "So don't make him feel uncomfortable and ruin your older brothers friendship with him, okay?" 8 years later...
