Keeping You a Secret meets The Fault in Our Stars
Hiram is just a majorly depressed unordinary teen trying to live their unordinary life with their homophobic parents. Which is hard, mind you, when you're a non binary pansexual trying to date. After getting kicked out of the house, Hiram must learn to find their own two feet amidst crippling depression and financial issues. They're not ready to be an adult yet; they can barely manage their own anxiety, and did I mention that they're trying to date?
Audrey is everything Hiram could have wanted. She's smart, beautiful, and has nice ass pink hair. They hit it off immediately, and Hiram's waiting for their Happy Ever After, when a migraine heads south. Audrey has cancer and has been given six months to live.
Suddenly everything's changed. Hiram can feel Audrey slipping away from their grasp. But they refuse to let this disaster ruin their relationship. Hiram proposes. Even though their anxiety is telling them not too. Even though Audrey would have to get parental consent. Even though their Happy Ever After wouldn't be forever.
But with Hiram's mental illness making more and more of an appearance, and with Audrey's condition escalating, will their marriage work out or even occur?
A heartbreaking YA romance story about trust, mental illness, and commitment, Running With Tigers is sure to make you rethink your life. (Please make sure you have tissues)

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos
In this society, everyone has a soulmate. And the way to find yours is just look. Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly. The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle. Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick. The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper. One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle. ____________________________________ *Will they be happy with who their soulmate turns out to be? *Will they recognize each other? *Will they be happy? *Will they break apart? -Read to find out. :) ____________________________________ This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm.

ORIGINAL:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer(BxB)
"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips; his hands gently gripping my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His beautiful, hazy blue eyes -that had turned straight quicksilver, again- were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a small group of kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought, immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places... All of those places involving a very hard part of my body... I glanced back at Leo; his gaze was still as intense as it was before (unfortunately). He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy (which has happened once before, but Ethan tries to forget it). Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding, the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him; but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that, "You have to live in the present, as you may not have a future."Complete
I've Been Waiting All Along (Book 2 - Rock Canyon Series)
"No," I said, softly but firmly. "I don't think you've believed a lie. I want you to have that. I want you to open your eyes one morning and realize that you've met that person and it's almost like they were made just for you. And that all this pain can be behind you, buried forever, if you just let go..." They looked at our hands together and then into my eyes. I expected a question to still be there, maybe even annoyance, but all I found was an infinite gentleness. And then I had the most dangerous thought. Can we walk like this? In this majestic place with our fingers and palms wrapped together, can I be allowed to look down and see that? To look down to my side and see Charlie's body connected to mine, fulfilling my most furious desire-to be touched by them. "I've Been Waiting All Along" is a diverse YA-love story featuring a non-binary main character. If you enjoy emotional, intimate love stories, you'll adore this <3Complete

"Its been one year and eight months since, and now all of a sudden you bring her up, why now? Out of all days?" I ask Jake sincerely. "I can see the act your putting up in front of everyone. The recklessness and all. You can get away with all of that with everyone else, but you can't fool me Bil," Jake tells me concerningly. "Why does it matter? I moved on, I have Drew. I'm not stuck on her anymore. Clearly - I've proven that by now," I say to Jake. "Do you mean that sincerely?" Jake asks me. I huff before looking back at Jake. "Yes. I do," I say to him truthfully. "Alright well. Finneas decided that it was best that I'd break the news to you," Jake says before sitting up in his seat. I look at him with my eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly a deep trench of anxiety forms in the pit of my stomach. "What is it?" I ask him. He hesitates before speaking. "Lilith is coming back to LA to work on the stage crew," Jake says. My eyes slightly widen. Fuck. ~~~ A year has gone by and now Lilith is back. Although a reunion is coming up, a year can change a person drastically, and as they say, change is inevitable. Will Lilith be able to reconnect with Billie? Or is it seemingly hopeless? Will Lilith finally remember Billie? Or did change form Lilith into a completely different person? ~~~ (This is the Second Book to the first book called 'Sweet Belladonna'. I highly recommend you go back to read the first one before continuing on reading this one, or else you'll be majorly confused.) ~~~ AU (Alternate Universe); Though some characters are real, this is fiction.
