// Best YA Romance in the Romance Fiction Awards 2021//

Thrill Hawthorne, keeping up to his name, lives his life on the edge. Or so people think. 

Ignatius Rookwood is the darling son and the sole male heir to a gigantic business corporation. Or so people think.

One ill-fated night, one drunken exchange, leads their life down a messy spiral of lawsuits, car races, betrayals, greasy burgers and stolen kisses under the moonlight. As a whole new world opens up to Ignatius, Thrill is forced to face the demons of his past.

But perhaps romance can bloom alongside their rivalry, perhaps it can't. Either way, paving the way through a society pitted against them is the journey of a lifetime.

And at the end of the day, standing akimbo to one's fears only needs a hint of courage and the right kind of people by one's side...

The Secret Admirer |BL|

26 parts Complete Mature

|LGBT ROMANCE| When Marcus Berkley discovers that he has a secret admirer, he isn't quite too sure how to react. Surely, the affection held won't go unnoticed and surely, it was all meant to be romantic... Maybe this is the timeless romance he had been waiting for..... Yet why did it feel so sinister? This secret admirer is not just any ordinary Admirer. Marcus is in for a killer when he finds out the truth. Sometimes, it's better not to be admired than be admired at all... . . "Kiss Me." Marcus whispered. "Are you sure you want me to kiss you?" The man asked, a glint in his eyes and a smirk on his lips... This moment was the begining of realization, the start of something new, something dangerous, and something Marcus would love, regardless.
