When they're forced to team up for a senior "Journey of Identity" project-thanks, sadistic Ms. Vesper-Ash plans to power through. But Dax? He plans to ruin the golden boy's perfect little world. What neither of them expects is the tension. The heat. The hate that starts tasting like want. One kiss leads to a secret. One bed leads to a mess. And one mistake might ruin them both. Enemies make the best lovers. Until the world finds out. ⚠️ This book contains: intense angst, smutty scenes, questionable library behavior, emotional gut punches, and two dumb boys falling hard when they shouldn't.

-Latte & Mocha- 20 years ago, they were everything.
Two boys, bonded by caffeine, chaos, and a love too intense to survive. 
But one accident, one betrayal, one shattered moment... turned their passion into poison. Now in 2025, Ares Harvey Chance is the cold, golden CEO of Serenade Café-a luxury coffee empire built on the ruins of what once warmed his heart. 
Across the city, Leandro Lex Donovan, ex-band boy turned reclusive single dad, barely holds himself together behind a bass guitar and a broken smile. They don't talk.
They don't look back.
They both pretend the other never existed. Until their sons-Ander Hendrix Chance, too chaotic for his own good, and Ledger Ryker Donovan, a deadpan genius with a guitar case and a habit of unintentional sabotage-walk into each other's lives... and into the place it all began. With sharp tongues, twisted humor, and unexpected warmth, the boys unravel a history soaked in ego, regret, and a love that refused to die. 
But digging up the past has consequences. And when smut, secrets, and old scars resurface, the two men must confront the brutal truth: "You can't run from love when it tastes like your favorite drink." Latte & Mocha is a darkly funny, devastatingly romantic standalone about broken lovers, misfit sons, and the healing that comes after the worst kind of goodbye.
Spicy. Wounded. Unapologetically raw. 
This is not a story for the faint of heart-this is a full-bodied brew of pain, passion, and the kind of healing that burns before it soothes. Content Warning: Contains explicit adult content, emotional trauma, past sexual assault references, toxic relationships, dark themes, and psychological conflict.

-Spouse Freaking FBI- Zachary Alexander Lorenzo and Leo Quin Morales are not friends. Not partners. Not even civil. They're the FBI's most explosive rivalry-two top-tier agents with history, ego, and a mutual urge to strangle each other on sight. Five years ago, something went horribly wrong. A mission. A betrayal. A silence that never healed. Since then, they've avoided each other like crime scenes-until a top-secret case forces them back into the same room...and then the same house...and then, somehow, the same marriage. Wait. WHAT? To maintain deep cover, the Bureau drops a bombshell: Zach and Leo must pretend to be married. Publicly. Legally. Romantically. Living together. Working together. Sleeping-okay, technically not together, but the tension's already off the charts. Their orders? Act like a perfect couple and solve the case. The problem? They're both used to being in control. And neither wants to admit they care. As secrets resurface, lines blur, and sparks fly way too literally, Zach and Leo must decide: Will this marriage kill them... or finally force them to face the one truth they've been dodging for years? They can solve any crime. But can they survive each other? "It's not fake when it starts to feel real." "Married to your worst enemy. Assigned to protect the country. Emotionally compromised? Obviously."

-Payback Position- In a world where power defines worth and bloodlines decide fate, the Hollywood Pack reigns supreme-a dynasty of purebred Alphas, untouchable in strength, wealth, and influence. Among them, Mendes Martin Hollywood, the third son, is an enigma: cold, calculating, and dangerously intelligent. Born into dominance but raised on emotional starvation, Mendes doesn't crave affection-he craves retribution. A decade ago, he created a fake identity-Mark Gill Cassel-an unremarkable, quiet boy who attracted the wrong kind of attention. Specifically, from Eric Redscar, a violent, arrogant Alpha heir with a fractured soul and an uncontrollable obsession. Eric didn't know how to love, so he hurt. And Mendes let him-because everything was part of a long, exquisite plan. Then, Mark "died." Mendes vanished. Now, ten years later, Mendes returns under a new name and a sharper smile. Eric is older, richer, and still haunted by the boy he destroyed. But the tables have turned. Mendes no longer needs to pretend-he's here to finish the game. What begins as a psychological chess match quickly devolves into a twisted collision of lust, rage, and unfinished scars. As Mendes tightens the noose around Eric's world-eroding his dominance, his mind, his sense of control-Eric spirals into a darkness Mendes knows all too well. But revenge is a double-edged blade. And love, no matter how cruel, leaves its mark. Payback Position is a slow-burn, timeline-shifting novel exploring the blurred lines between vengeance and desire. With themes of dominance, identity, and trauma, it is a brutal yet intimate portrait of two Alphas locked in a battle of wills-and flesh-that can only end in destruction... or something dangerously close to salvation.

-Shut Up!- Two strangers. One drunken mistake. A tangled fate neither of them saw coming. Tae Sun Kang isn't your average Korean bad boy.
A charismatic delinquent with a hidden heart, Sun doesn't need anyone - except the twin teens he took in and raised like his own. Protective, hot-headed, and dangerously sexy, he rules his world with fists, leather, and silence. Love? Not on the table. Not until a one-night stand leaves him waking up next to a tattooed, muscled American who doesn't seem to know how to shut his damn mouth. Grayson Miller Smith is a powerful young CEO on a soul-cleansing vacation from his toxic business life back in the States. He expected peace, not a blacked-out night with a sharp-tongued Korean who flips his world upside down. Tall, inked, and charmingly infuriating, Gray doesn't back down - especially not when his mystery hookup turns out to be the only man who makes him feel alive. Neither expected to meet again. 
Neither expected to be turned on by the chaos.
And neither can remember who topped that night. Thrown together by fate - and fueled by secrets, sweat, and sharp banter - Sun and Gray spiral into a push-and-pull romance marked by bruised knuckles, breathless tension, and switch-blurred boundaries. But when their pasts start catching up and the stakes become more than just lust, they'll have to ask themselves: Can two broken men find home in each other... or will pride and pain destroy them before they ever figure it out? "Shut Up!" is a gritty, fast-paced hardcore gay romance set in modern-day Korea. Featuring POV switches, a chaotic found family, martial arts teens, a leather-clad delinquent, and a sexy foreign CEO with a thing for dominance and submission - this is not your soft-boy love story.
It's raw, it's wild, and it's unapologetically real.
