All Things Holy ✔️
❝I know you love God or whatever, but I want to do the most unholy things to you.❞ Small towns harbor two types of people: those that live and die within the confines of it, and those that get the hell out while they can. Hudson is one of the lucky few with the means to pack his bags and run as fast as he can once he graduates high school. Although he can't quite cut ties with his family and leave his past in the past, he can take advantage of a fresh start in the city that never sleeps: New York City. College is a chance for Hudson to find out who he really is--and who he wants to be. He's a good boy with a religious knack and a girlfriend back home who doesn't mind that he's saving himself for marriage. His deepest secret that he likes men is neither new nor surprising, more so downright despicable. Damnable, even. When he meets Zane, an eccentric friend of his roommate, his entire earth is turned on its axis and the life he thought he wanted vanishes. Zane opens his eyes to a world of freedom full of lust and sin. And for the love of all things holy, he likes it.Complete![Betting on Love [JEONGCHEOL] ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/376496259-256-k523944.jpg)

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️
"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.Complete

All Hail The Knight (bxb) ✔️
Book Two in the Hail Royalty Duology ARTEMIO ROME: He's an error in my code. Griffin Knight. He's not supposed to crawl under my skin and hibernate there when I thought I extracted him a year and a half ago. I never needed his fake promises of a future with rose pedals and smiles. I've walked down that road before, and I refuse to bow at another man's feet. I will not be ruined a second time, and I most certainly will not be ruined by Griffin Knight. All love has shown me are the ways I don't deserve it, so I put an ocean and a block list between Griffin and me. So, why is it the minute I set foot back on U.S. soil, I am automatically magnetized to the one I tried so hard to leave behind? Not only am I forced to work with him toward my best friend, Prince Cyprus, wedding day, why does he have to be Evander's best man? Also, why? Just why was he recruited as a model by my Mother for my debut fashion line? Why do I have to go through the torture of seeing him in close quarters almost every day? And why is he suddenly starting to notice the signs of my past that I've worked so hard to keep hidden? Why is my guard slipping around him? Why does his touch promise safety and security, when I'm never supposed to know what that feels like? I don't even like to be touched, but why do I start to crave his? No, he can't slip past my walls. He'll see everything. He'll see every weakness I've worked so hard to keep hidden. And he'll see nothing except the dead shell of a person I mask like an expert. But why does it seem like every time he looks at me and sees through my facade... that he wants to bring me back to life? He's an error in my code. But I suppose errors can lead you toward something you swore you never deserved. Love.Complete
