(Book 2 of The Cross Brothers Series) Julian's dream is to become one of the most successful criminal lawyers around, so when a client asks him to venture to The Prison From Hell located on a remote island for an assignment, he jumps at the chance in hopes of a promotion. He's well-aware of the prison's infamous reputation, corrupt laws and peculiar hierarchy, so he already expects to find the baddest of the bad and the foulest of the foul within its concrete walls. Instead, he finds and catches the eye of the most beautiful man he's ever laid eyes on. When Schneider Cross, the new King of the Prison, offers him a one-in-a-lifetime chance to represent him as his attorney, Julian accepts, but just before he leaves, a riot breaks out and the prison descends into chaos. Julian is unwittingly caught in its midst and is made to defend himself from a group of rapists, forcing him to kill in self-defense. Angered, the inmates conspire to pin a bogus murder charge on Julian and have him thrown into The Prison from Hell with the intention to finish what they started. Dangerously unprepared and still reeling from the injustice, Julian must now seek the protection of the strongest man in all the prison if he is to survive. Only to ensure the King's protection, Julian must agree to become his 'bitch' and 'serve' him in an entirely different way than the first job entailed. But how can Julian possibly agree to such a thing when he suspects Schneider of conspiring with the other inmates to get him locked up?

IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime has been removed from Wattpad and is preparing for publication on Amazon. The first two chapters remain available as a preview. Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.

No emotions, No pain, No guilt, No pity, No love. They feel nothing. They are humans genetically modified to protect the most powerful empire in the world through history : Egypt, China, Greece, Rome... But after the Great World War, that nearly exterminated the human kind, everyone had enough. The world wants peace and prosperity. That is why, every government voted on deactivating the modified humans in a sealed room deep underground. Centuries later, archaeologists found the room and took the perfectly preserved bodies back to the surface to study the corpses. Or so they thought. However, errors were made and the scientists accidentally awakened one of them. THIS IS A MANxMAN STORY!!!!

Nate doesn't like Axel .... Axel thinks he's playing hard to get. Even if he was interested, Axel's whole aura just screamed danger, maybe it was the tattoos, the piercing, the rumors or the sex history, he didn't know but..... ....one thing about Nathan Parker, he avoided danger like a plague, especially ones that were not human. ____________ "I'd kill for you." Nathan froze, taken aback He didn't know whether Axel was joking. Or whether he could joke about something like that anymore. "I don't... think I'd like to see you do that," he whispered. "Then you don't have to see me do it." Nathan's breath caught. Those words meant something different now that he knew what Axel was. Much different "Axel... don't hurt him." "Then stay away from him," Axel repeated calmly. Nathan opened his mouth, closed it, opened it again. "Y-You can't just threaten people because you're jealous." "Really? Why does it seem like I can?"

Desmond Crenshaw doesn't have much going for him. He street races for cash, deals drugs to get by, and drags himself through each day with only one goal: survival. He's a reckless high school dropout with very few talents that won't get him arrested-definitely not someone you'd want around your child. Vaughn Torres agrees, he's been seeking a solid reason to cut off the friendship between the troublemaker and his daughter since the day they met. He gets one, too, when Des's vices begin to bleed into their lives and Winter is officially in danger. Des is given an ultimatum: he can only be around Winter if he distances himself from the crime. There's only one way to do that. A change of employment, specifically to Vaughn's mechanic shop, though that balance is a lot easier said than done. No, things for Des are never that simple. Not when he's working under the watchful eye of a man who hates him. Not when he starts genuinely wanting to be better, and is faced with the rocky road of leaving a life of crime entirely. And especially not when he's been in love with Winter's dad for years.
