In a city where neon lights never sleep and danger lurks beyond the stars, Nichole has learned one rule: survive alone. As a skilled Deepspace Hunter, she spends her nights eliminating Wanderers-alien threats that slip through the cracks of a fractured world. Detached, disciplined, and guarded, she keeps her distance from everything... and everyone. Until Sylus. Cold, controlled, and impossible to ignore, Sylus isn't someone Nichole can easily push away. Their personalities clash instantly-sharp words, sharper tension-but beneath the conflict lies something neither of them expected. A connection. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell what's more dangerous: the Wanderers closing in... or the walls Nichole built around her own heart finally breaking down. Because in a world built on survival, getting close to someone might be the one thing that destroys her.

He follows the rules, smiles when he should, and never causes trouble. His future is laid out-while he has just enough space to secretly chase his own quiet dreams of becoming a teacher, so long as he plays the role his parents expect. But when he's forced to attend a family summit back in Italy, everything starts to unravel. Because Gio Fontana will be there. Gio is reckless, magnetic, too rich for his own good. He's got cops who know him by name, and NOT because they're friends. His motorcycle is his greatest love, and rules don't seem to apply to him. He has a reputation that makes fathers lock their doors. Especially Rava's father. Rava and Gio, never got along. But this time, the tension feels like hunger more than hate. And as the days stretch on, Rava's perfectly safe world starts to slip through his fingers, because what's building between him and Gio is forbidden. Not just risky. And it might be the first real thing Rava's ever felt. 🥇 #1 - gay 🥇 #1 - rivals 🥇 #1 - enemiestolovers 🥇 #1 - forbiddenlove 🥇 #1 - lgbtfiction 🥇 #1 - bxb 🥇 #1 - bl 🥇 #1 - bxblove 🥇 #1 - boyxboy 🥇 #1 - biker 🥇 #1 - Italy 🥇 #1 - denial 🥇 #1 - angst 🥇 #1 - gaylove 🥇 #1 - gayfiction 🥇 #1 - fluffy 🥇 #1 - mxm 🥇 #1 - bisexual 🥇 #1 - gaycouple 🥇 #1 - love 🥇 #1 - mlm 🥇 #1 - funny 🥇 #1 - obsession 🥇 #1 - lgbtromance 🥇 #1 - traveling 🥇 #1 - fatalattraction 🥇 #1 - grumpyxsunshine 🥇 #1 - slowburn 🥇 #1 - queer Also available on Amazon, physical and Kin

Linkon Institute, Room 102B smelled of ammonia and ambition, the hum of fluorescent lights buzzing like a warning. Students moved like ghosts; frantic, desperate to impress. At the edge of it all stood Skye Altair, a name stitched from lies. Beneath the suit and smile was Sylus, predator cloaked in civility. He wasn't here for science. He was here to hunt. His gaze cut through the room until it found her. Lily Sinclair. She ripped off her goggles, frustration sharp in her voice. "The capacitor you gave me is malfunctioning. I can't work with junk." Already, her hands recalibrated, her mind rewriting the solution faster than the machines around her. Sylus watched. Not the experiment, but her. Electric defiance. A mind that refused to bend. A fire unbroken. Not a student. Not a girl. A weapon. And he knew. One day, she would belong to him.

It's become a habit of yours to feed crows. While their dark feathers are far from beautiful compared to doves, most people underestimate the intelligence crows possess. Not only do they remember someone by their faces, but they also display a sort of affection towards people they 'respect'. You wouldn't expect feeding a murder would lead you to meeting an actual fugitive.
