Sometimes, I wondered if there was ever a time when I hadn't cared about others' opinions, either the subtle ones that I'd heard through hushed whispers... or the harsher ones I'd fabricated within my own mind. If there was a way to appease the vicious hounding of my own worries as they nipped at my heels, it felt far beyond my reach. I longed for the peace of hearing something unpleasant and allowing it to rush through me without it tearing me apart. --- Bennett Oden had long ago grown accustomed to the numbing coldness of reality. He led a miserable existence at the hands of his father, but starving was all he knew. He understood how to navigate it... and how to survive on having just enough. On being just enough. Then, he crashed into Mason Locke-warmth incarnate. [Book 1 of The Rapture Series. Stand-Alone.)

"We can't do this." I whisper as our lips re-connect, a tingling fire surging through my body as his hands ravage unexplored lands; my innocence dissipating away with every peck he trails down my neck. "I know we can't. That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me. "What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin. "Who cares." ********** Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things. - YOP

Hunted for his ability to see into the future and the past, Cinder finds himself taken in by the Council, more specifically, the Council's pet Warlock. Kydyn isn't an easy man to get along with. He's cruel and cold. A smart ass and every inch of him screams 'stay away'. He's not kind, and he leaves little to be desired, but the warlock has feelings. They're just buried under all the grit. And he's a warlock.... one of only two, and warlocks aren't rainbows and sunshine. In between the chaos, Cinder might find that Kydyn has a lot more to him than he shows.

"Just because I'm a Gentleman doesn't mean that I won't spank you." ; Okay so maybe Louis is a loudmouth, attention seeking minx that is paired up with a controlling gentleman of a guy, Liam, who treats him like a princess but fucks him like whore.

Four roommates, Kyle, Josh, Leo, and Jackson all had a normal friendship with each other. Except two of them are more than what they tell people. Secrets come out and confusion sets in as they all find themselves falling for each other. More Than Just Roommates explores the lives of these four boys during their sophomore year of college, and how they overcome the challenges of accepting who they are and finding out what true love is. **Completed!** There are two spin off books that both take place after this books ends (The New Kid, and Denial). If you chose to read either of both of them first, then just be aware that you will find spoilers for the end of this book. Disclaimer: I wrote this book way back in like 2015, when I was a young, newbie writer. It's a bit chaotic, especially the beginning, but I hope you stick it out. I love these boys and, if you end up reading through the whole series (which involves more than just the two spin offs mentioned above), then you get to see how I've evolved as a writer over time.
