{hockey boyxboy} Hockey captain Hudson Turner has everything mapped out: lead his team, impress NHL scouts, and never give anyone a reason to question him. But when charismatic and openly gay French Canadian exchange player Pierre Lavoie joins the team, Hudson is forced to decide if the love he never expected is worth jeopardizing the future he planned for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hudson Turner is the kind of captain who never slips.

You remember your first love... Even when they come back from the dead. When Rene Barnett returns to his family's mansion after his father's death, he expects nothing but dust and the weight of old memories. Instead, he finds a boy chained in the cellar beneath the mansion. Malachi Delaney, the boy who vanished two years ago. But he's no longer the same boy Rene once knew-he's a vampire now, one of the demons whispered in the town's myths. As Rene struggles with the truth of what Malachi has become and tries to uncover why he was imprisoned beneath his home, he begins to question everything he thought he knew-about his town, his family, and himself. And when another vampire arrives in Saint Rivers, secrets long buried begin to rise, dragging magic, grief, and forgotten history to the surface. As desire tangles with danger, Rene is caught in a haunting pull between the boy he once loved, and the monster he might become.

When Isaac Tissera accidentally becomes the target of the most popular girl in school, escaping her attention without destroying his social life seems impossible. Until Nate Bedford offers him a solution: Pretend they're dating. Nate is confident, popular, frustratingly attractive, but worst of all, his older brother's best friend- meaning fake dating him should be a complete disaster. Instead, it works ridiculously well. As rumours spread through school and their fake relationship becomes more convincing by the day, Isaac finds himself caught between what everyone else believes and what he's trying very hard not to feel. But the closer he gets to Nate, the more obvious it becomes that maybe Nate has been keeping some things that Isaac should've known about... And when the truth finally comes out, it threatens to destroy both of them.

"Noah, I won't do it unless you ask me to," he whispered, his voice seductively low. "What?" I asked almost breathless. "Kiss you," he murmured. "And God, there are no words for how badly I want to." **** Noah was your all American boy. Captain of his soccer team, extremely good-looking, having other boys want to be him and girls want to be with him, but there's one problem. He doesn't chase after the captain of the cheerleading squad or the girls who spread their legs open for whoever asks. In fact, he doesn't go for any girl. Instead, he hates himself when his eyes linger on a guy that his brain and heart say is cute. He's gay, and he's having a hard time accepting himself for it. It doesn't help when he wakes up almost naked in another guy's house, let alone in another guy's bed. And to make matters worse, he can't help but fall for the outspoken and extremely attractive Madison who he'd drunkenly went home with and tried to screw. Finally, to add the cherry on top of the crap-tastic cake, Noah is forced to work with Madison for at least six months, or he'll lose his beloved soccer. Nothing could go wrong, right? Throw in a bit of awkwardness mixed with a few close calls and you've got a recipe for disaster....and a tiny tear in Noah's heavily protected heart. © 2018 *endless thanks and love to @half_a_hetero for helping me with the Italian in this book.

They are never home, yet they hold a protective barrier around him no matter what. They even own the school he goes to. Forest is to do and be who they say, and he's never been one to disobey or displease anyone, except for when he falls in love with the one boy who's able to break his parents spell.

When Forest meets Atlas, he can't believe he's never noticed someone so perfect for him, and Atlas just can't believe someone like Forest is even talking to him. They fall helplessly in love, creating a bump in the plan Forest's parents laid out for his life before he was even born. Follows the struggles of falling in love with someone you're not supposed to and coming to terms with it while facing obstacles like family and friendship complications in which the characters have to overcome.
