Doll [The Fiction Awards 2019 winner of the Best LGBTQ] [Featured in 10 Wattpad profiles] ************************************************************* Boneca shares the journey of two people who belong to the opposite side of a dime. It explores the conscience of humans steeped in guilt and the struggle for liberation. This is the story of a man who grows up with unconditional love and of a man who is reborn by getting to know him. Blurb: Amidst personal tragedies, Luuk and Jona's lives intertwine in unexpected ways. Raised in warmth and affection, Luuk stands in stark contrast to Jona, who has only ever known emotional absence. A chance mishap leads them deep into the Amazon rainforest, where spoken language fades and raw emotion takes center stage. As they unravel the jungle's secrets, guarded hearts begin to soften. Pessimism gives way to tenderness, and love's quiet touch reshapes even the most fractured souls. Together, they discover that the ordinary can become extraordinary-and that connection can bloom in the most unlikely places. During their journey, Luuk realizes that love is not as pleasing as he had thought, and Jona discovers that love is not as hideous as he had known it to be. ************************************************************** Genre: Literary Fiction Subgenre: Romance THIS STORY HAS LGBTQ+ THEMES, BUT IT IS NOT MXM. DON'T LIKE HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES? THEN THIS STORY MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU.

ONC2025 Prompt 126: Because you're you, and I'm me, and we just don't fit. Prompt 120: The door that closed to you many years ago has reopened, and now it's up to you to take a chance once more. After doing time for beating a prostitute into a week hospital stay, Jesse Carrick loses everything-her job at Stanford University, her future, and the last shred of a normal life. But when a call from Himari drags her back into the underworld of Japan, she realizes the past isn't done with her yet. Kidnapped. Sold into a trafficking ring. Trapped on a ship bound for hell. After Jesse fights to survive 19 brutal days at Japan, she writes: a letter for every day spent in Japan, unraveling the truth she never wanted to face. The ghosts of her past are waiting. But survival isn't just about escape. It's about fixing what can be fixed. It's about Aaron Chaves, the man she left behind. The man she never stopped thinking about. As the days pass, her letters test everything they thought they knew-about love, about trust, about whether second chances mean a damn thing. In 19 days, Jesse's world shatters. Now, she has to decide whether to rebuild it-or burn it all to the ground. A story of survival, revenge, and redemption, Peony Blooms in Blood dives deep into the wreckage of a love that refuses to die and the chaos of choosing the right path-when the world wants to keep you lost.
