A stolen life. A forbidden romance. An age-gap MM love story where desire becomes the most dangerous risk of all. Tommy // I didn't mean to end up here-scraping by, following in my deadbeat dad's footsteps, chasing a version of myself that doesn't feel real anymore. Then Adrian Ashford showed up, all control and calm danger, and suddenly I couldn't tell if I was being saved or swallowed whole. He offers me work, a purpose, a way out of the trailer park. But every time he looks at me like that, I forget what I'm running from. Adrian // I built my life on discipline, on following rules that keep everything in order. But Tommy tests every one of them. He's reckless, defiant, and too damn alive for the world I live in. The more I try to keep him at a distance, the more I find myself breaking the one rule the boss gave me: don't touch him. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.

A charming roommate. A hopeless crush. A coming-of-age MM romance full of humor, heart, and heat. Liam // I didn't plan on falling for my roommate. I just wanted to survive college without embarrassing myself in front of Morgan-who, for the record, is everything I'm not. He's confident, charming, and somehow even looks good doing laundry. I keep telling myself it's just a crush, that the late-night talks and inside jokes don't mean anything. But every time he smiles at me, it feels less like a phase and more like falling. He's completely out of my depth. Morgan // Liam's chaos shouldn't be my problem, but somehow, it's become my favorite part of the day. He's awkward, loud, and way too easy to care about. I've had flings before, sure, but nothing that's ever felt like this-like coming home to someone who actually sees me. The rules were simple: don't get attached. But with Liam, the line between friendship and something real keeps blurring, and I'm not sure I want to stop it anymore. 📖 Part of The House Collection The House is part of The House Collection, a series of interconnected queer romances about messy friendships, found family, and falling in love when you least expect it.

Sharp banter. Slow burn tension. A frenemies-to-lovers MM romance novella with heart and heat. Eli // Aubrey drives me insane. He talks too loud, laughs too hard, and somehow manages to get under my skin every damn time. I tell myself it's because he's obnoxious-because he's the last person I'd ever want to spend time with. But then he lets me show up for movie nights, sitting too close, tossing popcorn at my face, and suddenly the silence between us starts feeling heavier than the noise. I should know better. I probably do. But every time he smiles, it stops mattering. Aubrey // Eli's impossible. Broody, stubborn, and allergic to admitting he cares about anyone. I swore I'd never fall for someone like him, and yet here I am watching horror movies just to make him laugh, picking fights just to keep him talking. Somewhere between all the snark and late nights, something shifted. Now I'm stuck wondering if we're still pretending to hate each other, or if his bad idea might actually be the best thing that's ever happened to me. 📖 Part of the Warner Park Collection The Bad Idea is part of the Warner Park Collection, a set of interconnected romances set in Los Angeles.

Lights, secrets, and second chances. A slow burn MM romance set in the heart of Los Angeles. Andrew // Starting over in Los Angeles wasn't supposed to be easy, but I didn't expect it to feel this lonely either. I left everything behind in Alaska to build something real-a yoga studio, a fresh start, maybe even a version of myself I can finally like. Then I meet Vincent Vickers. He's charming, quick-witted, and hiding more than he lets on. I tell myself it's just a job, just a temporary connection. But the longer I'm around him, the harder it is to remember what I'm running from. Or why I ever thought I could keep my heart out of it. Vince // I know how to play the part. Smile for the cameras, hit my marks, pretend everything's fine. But when Andrew walks into my life, quiet and sincere and nothing like the chaos I'm used to, the script starts to fall apart. He sees through the performance, straight into the parts of me I've kept off-screen. And for the first time, I start to wonder if real love could be more than just another scene in my life. 📖 Part of the Warner Park Collection The Bad Idea is part of the Warner Park Collection, a set of interconnected romances set in Los Angeles.

A class clown on a motorcycle. A shy librarian with a guarded heart. A slow burn MM romance about love, healing, and belonging. Hudson // Colton rides through life like he's allergic to brakes. Reckless, loud, the kind of beautiful that feels like trouble. I should know better. I've spent years choosing silence over risk, libraries over chaos, certainty over the unknown. But he looks at me like the world isn't something to survive-it's something to live through, messy and fast. Every time he grins, something in me unlearns caution. Maybe I'm finally ready to stop being the safe choice. Colton // Hudson's too careful for his own good, always hiding behind pages and plans while I'm out here chasing wind on two wheels. I never meant to fall for someone who thinks before he breathes, but damn if he doesn't make me want to slow down. He looks at me like I could be something steadier than a storm, and it scares the hell out of me. Because when the road turns rough and old wounds split open, it's not the crash that worries me, it's what happens if he's the one I can't outrun. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.

A grumpy/sunshine duo. A motorcycle rally. A slow burn MM romance with sparks, scars, and second chances. Carlos // The thing about fire is, you never notice how close you're standing until it burns. Chuck's that kind of fire-short fuse, sharp tongue, and the kind of stare that pins me in place. He drives me crazy, which would be fine if he didn't also make me laugh, listen, and look twice when no one else does. I told myself helping him plan this rally was just a favor for a friend. Then the late nights started feeling like something else entirely. Chuck // I don't do sunshine. I do engines, late shifts, and keeping my head down. But Carlos has this way of worming into my space, bright and relentless, until I start looking forward to the sound of his laugh more than the roar of my bike. He's everything I don't deserve. He's soft, open, good. And somehow, he's the one thing I can't seem to stay away from. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.
