When shy former track runner Emery strikes a deal with charismatic athlete Beckett, they each have a goal: to help the other impress their crush. But as courtship slowly turns to jealousy, the two are left to confront their feelings as they fight to win each other's hearts instead. Season 1 of Crushed Hearts *** All that Emery Theiss wants is to become an English professor, knowing his ADHD medication means his days of running sprints are over. But when the track team star, Beckett Delroy, unceremoniously hits him with a football, Emery's bad luck changes gears. Beckett needs Emery's advice to help his crush warm up to him, and Emery could use Beckett's confidence to win over his best friend and secure his future. But while coming to an agreement is easy, Beckett is the track rival who broke Emery's coveted record, and he can't stop himself from flirting, even with Emery. The charmingly annoying teasing, however, reveals Beckett has a softer side. The more time he spends with Beckett, the less important impressing his crush becomes. Faced with the possibility of losing his chance at his future, will Emery chase love or settle for certainty to ensure his heart isn't crushed? *** Cover Design by Louise De Ramos

[𝐌𝐌] ╰┈➤ 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒚. ── For a century, Midgard has rotted from within. The dead do not rest; they rise. Draugr, cursed remnants of the underworld, stalk the realm of mortals and spread Liik --- plague that turns the living into the damned. In desperation, the gods offer divine blessings to chosen humans, demanding unwavering faith in return. With the opening of a gate to the underworld, the kingdom of Ásveldi witnesses their very own undoing. 𝑶𝒅𝒆𝒍 𝑨𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒍 is no chosen one. As a weather boy among the Blessed Ones, he bears no gift from the gods; only a fierce hope to cure his sister, who teeters on the edge of undeath. He's got a secret, bigger than what anyone could imagine. For a decade, he's lived in the shadows of a lie, pretending to be who he is not. But there is one who has chosen him. The prince of Ásveldi. The man whom no one has seen since the opening of the gate. The one they call 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏. At every turn, every waking moment --- he is there. Watching Odel. And to make matters worse, his hunter squadron gains a new captain, one that makes Odel realize that the hate in his heart isn't just reserved for the undead. For he is 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒏𝒊𝒓, the bastard whose name takes after the old Ásveldi child's tale. When his squadron is tasked to travel to the underworld in search of the cure for Liik, Odel must push aside his hatred and work with his sworn enemy to save the realm from hell.

I summoned him to keep me alive. Not to kiss me and make me feel things. Prince Leonard is a paranoid wreck-hated by his court, haunted by his past, and one imagined assassination attempt away from losing the only person still on his side. So when his own guards turn on him, Leo makes the one move no sane person would: he summons a demon. What he expects is a bloodthirsty monster. What he gets is Razvain Nyxbourne-dangerously attractive, infuriatingly flirty, and far more interested in kissing than drinking blood. Leo is unprepared for his sharp smiles or the avalanche of inconvenient emotional intimacy that comes with them. Bound by magic to keep Leo alive, Raz and his disarmingly cute shadows have their work cut out for them, because every member of the court seems to be after the newly crowned king's fragile life. If Leo wants to survive, he'll have to confront the demons of his past to keep the one at his side strong enough to protect him. Mature rated for explicit sexual content
