MATURE READERS ONLY - CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT 
It's the 1990s, and 21-year-old Alan Kirkpatrick (aka Kippy) is starting art school and his new life away from the small town he grew up in where no-one knew he was gay. 
Art school in Glasgow offers plenty of opportunities and his new best friend, Lillian, is determined to introduce him to them. There are parties, night clubs, chance encounters with good-looking bar men and the one older guy Kippy keeps running into who seems determined not to succumb to temptation.
There's also the tragic shadow of the past. Can Kippy see past his one, big secret love or will it define him for ever?
Meanwhile, his cousin Katrina is trying to carve a life out for herself in London. She's got the great career and plenty of friends, but her past continues to haunt her too - in the form of unrequited love, and a man who's always treated her like his annoying kid sister. 
Follow the adventures of Kippy and Katrina as they negotiate love, life and learning to know yourself on the road to growing up.All Rights Reserved

My Summer of Firsts by jms777

Summers in Arizona can be brutal. So can finding love in a small town when you aren't straight. At twenty-years-old, Steven has just about given up on the prospect. Instead, he saves his money, dreaming of the day when he can ditch his small town life for something more exciting. Preferably somewhere with guys who would actually be interested in dating him. But everything changes when a handsome new guy arrives in town and starts flirting with Steven. Being woefully inexperienced, Steven is excited-and equally nervous-by the opportunity to finally check some firsts off his list. Perhaps the one first he wasn't counting on will end up being the best of all.

Brutal by sup3r_n0va_

"What did I want? I wanted to be someone else. Or I wanted to live in a world where I didn't have to want to be someone else." *** Connor Hill lives a life of routine: He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, pretends to be straight, rinse and repeat. He lives a life of anonymity, hiding the fact that he's gay from everyone he knows. But everything changes when he encounters the brooding, enigmatic soccer player, Josh Brooks. As the boys keep finding themselves crossing paths, it becomes more and more difficult to stay apart. Connor begins to question if his philosophy of remaining anonymous is just as painful as coming out and allowing the world to see him as someone they might reject. Secrets will be spilled. Will the truth strengthen the boys' bond? Or will their worlds be shattered? [2024 WATTYS SHORTLIST]

Home is a Four Letter Word by hannagustin

(Book One) Jake Holmes hadn't put much thought into what home meant until Connor Morgan asked him to. He had settled with an idealistic fantasy. A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity. A life with Connor was something close enough to touch if he only knew how to reach for it. Jake's feelings for Connor become unmistakable, but the grip his past has on his ability to embrace the possibility of a life where he lets those feelings win threatens to leave him with a desperate choice he isn't equipped to make. As Jake struggles to find home within his identity, he is forced to combat the part of his heart that is stuck in the past with the part of his heart that yearns for a future. What is home if not where the heart is? Completed. Book 1 of 3. Sequel releases coming soon.
