Follow the story of Alfie and Garrett. A love story set in Vancouver British Columbia at the beginning Covid-19, before the world shut down.
Alfie and Garrett learn about friendship, forgiveness and the beautiful moments of falling in love. There are quite a few characters each with their own musical tastes and the characters have their own artists that I thought suited them.
I thought Alfie would be a big fan of Troye Silvan and Garrett would admire SYML. Follow along with the Spotify playlist Love Virus Spotify Playlist. Some of the characters are from other works of mine so please disregard the obvious age jump in some of the characters, I missed them and wanted them to be part of this journey. Tyler is still one of my Favorite characters (Love of my life book).
This book is complete but will be working on a follow-up book, including bringing Simon back (Love of my life) and how our characters deal with the anxieties and changes that the pandemic has brought to all of us.

Utterly Forgettable | MM Romance | Complete
When the only man he's ever loved, once a millionaire, ends up homeless, a palliative carer must let go of the past in order to help him get back on his feet. --- There's a delicate balance between self-preservation and self-isolation. Palliative carer Josh Winters has dedicated his life to bringing joy to someone's final months. His nurturing nature finds an outlet there for all the feelings he refuses to attach to anyone with a full life ahead of them. It's easier that way, simpler. Former millionaire Emery Hall has his own ideas about ease and simplicity, and they created an unspeakable rift with Josh in their past. Josh can never forgive him, but when he discovers Emery has been homeless for months, he will do everything in his power to convince the proud man to accept his help. Between his conscience and his lingering feelings for the man, he can do no less, not while he has a roof to offer. His only goal is to help Emery get back on his feet and let the past stay in the past, but he should have known better than to believe he could be unaffected by the only man he's ever loved. Torn between his inability to forgive and his need to help, escaping this situation with his heart intact may be more than Josh can hope for, especially once he discovers that there are still things about Emery he doesn't know. --- Gorgeous Cover Art by @kataraqui https://www.instagram.com/kataraqui/ Theme Song Lifeline by Tiago Barbosa https://youtu.be/yYBIWrRim14 http://www.tiagobarbosamusic.com --- Utterly Forgettable started out as an Open Novella Contest 2020 entry.

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️
"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.Complete
{ #5 } Eclipse Of The Moon (MxM || 18+)
Black Moon Series Book #5 📲 This book updates at best once a week and only if I have managed to write at least three chapters of the next books. Warning: #Mature #Gay #Triggering Description: I was raised in a bigot family. Church, God, Strict Rules, Seriousness, School, Homophobia, Conservatism, Family. These were their motto. Not mine. I wasn't the rebel kid, more like a sheep, at least until adolescence hit me. These beliefs have led me to become the total opposite to what my family expected. My faith mostly lays in wildness, triviality, sex. I am dreaming of fun and liberty of mind. Worst sin of all, I am attracted to males, and this might be the last straw for my parents. My ultimate faith lays in my three childhood friends. Camden Hall. Joshua Pierce. Mark Murray. Our bond goes far beyond friendship, love or any other human feeling. We are a whole entity. One cannot go without the others. And yet... When our 17th birthday turns into a tragic event and my father threatens me with the worst possible future he can think of, none of their comfort will prevent my flee from a life I don't yearn for. Sometimes, you just need to see new horizons, taste new dangers to build yourself. I may end up burning my wings in Los Angeles, but who knows? I might also meet my peace of mind...Complete
