The Wright Way
Ethan Wright knows what's right and what's wrong. Homosexuality is wrong to him, but then, given the background he's coming (or, more precisely, running) from, he could hardly have formed a different opinion. He doesn't allow it to affect his actions, though. He is a firefighter, and he saves lives no matter how people choose to live them. There's just that one guy that he can't quite get out of his head. The guy that circumstances keep putting in his way. The guy that makes him feel... he's not sure, how. There's not much time for him to figure that out, for his past is about to catch up with him, putting more than just his life in danger, forcing him to face uncomfortable truths and make life-changing decisions. #1 in BXB on 2022-10-01 #2 in MANXMAN on 2022-10-01 *** WARNINGS: The story contains mature themes and language.

Star Gazers [BXB] [COMPLETED]
*Spinoff/Sequel of Lab Partners (Recommended you read Lab Partners first but not required.)* "You know, you shouldn't smoke those things," I spoke softly, referring to the cigarette perched between his teeth. The pale light of the moon made his skin glow like an ethereal light, while his black hair shone like pure obsidian. "And why not?" he asked tiredly, letting the poisonous smoke escape his lips as he looked up at the stars. "They'll kill you," I said honestly, finally looking away from him to peer up at the brilliant night sky. He took the opportunity to turn his stunningly blue gaze back to me. He studied me lazily for a few minutes before asking, "And what if I want to die?" I looked down, straight into his eyes, and asked, "What if I don't want you to?" *This is a bxb book. If you don't like it, don't read it. There is also a trigger warning.* *Cover by @Grand_* *Started 02/14/18* *Finished 04/21/20* *Number of reads on day marked complete: 566k*Completa

Firefighter Captain Liam Bryant and Grammy-winning singer River Avery have built a world where love burns just as brightly as ambition. But everything changes in an instant when Liam is critically injured during a harrowing rescue operation. River brings him home from the hospital, shaken but thankful, determined to help Liam recover-not just physically, but emotionally-from the trauma of almost losing the career he lives for. As River adjusts to the weight of caretaking, and Liam struggles with the fear that he may never return to the line of duty, their once fiery relationship is tested by silence, pain, and doubt. But the night Liam and River returns home, just as the couple begins to breathe in the comfort of each other's presence again, a knock on the door changes everything. A woman stands on the doorstep, a social worker-with a solemn expression and a small boy at her side. The boy's eyes, too familiar. His face... unmistakable. He looks just like Liam. Now, faced with the arrival of a child he never knew existed, Liam is forced to reckon with his past, while River must decide how far love can stretch when the future shifts without warning. Together, they must navigate recovery, responsibility, and a relationship that's suddenly more fragile-and more necessary-than ever before. A deeply emotional story of second chances, unexpected family, and the resilience of love when faced with the fire of change.
