30 parts Complete Mature
Oliver doesn't know what hit him when he sees Baby Parker singing his heart out in a bar one fateful Saturday night. Maybe it's destiny, maybe it's love at first sight, or maybe, as Oliver's friends like to say, it's just Oliver thinking with his dick again. But one thing is for certain: Baby is different than anyone Oliver has ever fallen for. As Oliver and Baby grow closer and closer, they have to learn that the stars are numbered, and love is a choice - a choice to stick with each other through anything. Because life has a funny way of kicking you in the nuts when you least expect it. [complete] [59,000 words]

| Novel | Version 1 ~ Published early 2018 ~ Burdened with undeniable romantic feelings for his best friend, Greyson feels as if his life has become a typical tragic story of a one sided attraction. For the most part, he's right as his love story is both emotionally draining and convoluted for a lack of better words. But neither of the friends anticipated that things would quickly escalate after a drunken kiss. ________________________ "My fist stung with a burning pain as I stood over Ace's unconscious body. A bit stunned yet remorseless as a multitude of gawking eyes bore into me, I was numb. And sluggishly turning to meet Greyson's watery eyes, it was as if my mind had turned to a word stealing mush."

[𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒] [𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐍] Gabriel Sinclair was no saint, and he made no pretenses about it. Ruthless, cunning, and unhinged -those words only begin to scratch the surface of his true nature. Like a merciless hurricane, he tore through boundaries, destroying everything in his path for those unfortunate enough to be caught in his wake. And now, inexplicably, I find myself ensnared in his web. I have no idea how far this will go. All I can do is brace myself, hoping to endure this storm with as little damage as possible. But with each passing moment, I fear I'll emerge more shattered than before.
