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.

Bet We Could Make Some MORE (History Huh?)
Alex and Henry are newly engaged and planning their wedding as Alex's first Congressional election is coming up. While Henry is done with being in the spotlight, he's always knew that to love Alex, he'll have to continue to be. But as the wedding approaches, it eats at him as he realizes Alex and him want different lives. Alex, meanwhile is too wrapped up in politics to see how much Henry is suffering, and in his attempt to balance being everything to everyone, turns to vice. Will this be the thing that tears them apart? How can they both be happy if one of them has to sacrifice the life they have always desired? Follows book cannon (but not the bonus chapter exactly) and takes place 6 years after the end of the book. Chapters will alternate being told from Henry and Alex's POVs. TRIGGER WARNINGS: mental health issues, drug and alcohol use, disordered eating, profanity, and (light) sexual content Note: Please consider the politics in this story to be a very fictional representation, and they do NOT truly represent US politics.

{ #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

Beneath the Noise 1 - [MXM] ✔️
(Completed) Brothers of the Empire Series I've never been entirely sure where I belong. Most days, I exist somewhere between wanting to fit in and wanting to disappear altogether. The world moves too fast, too loud, too bright, too full of unspoken rules that everyone seems to understand but me. So I stand there, another face in the crowd, pretending the thrum of the music doesn't make my chest ache, pretending the lights don't burn when they hit just right. But that night wasn't about pretending. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, a small break in the noise where something inside me shifted. Life never warns you when someone important is about to enter your world. They simply appear, slipping into your orbit so softly you almost miss it. That's how it began for me. One night. One unexpected moment. And the start of everything that followed. --------------------------- Author's Notes This story is told in short chapters, with many moments that build gradually over time. While it can be read as a standalone, it serves as the first book in the Brothers of the Empire series, offering deeper insight into the characters, their histories, and the overarching timeline. The series consists of seven books, each to be released only after the previous installment is completed. 🏆 Rankings & Achievements 🥇 #1 (Slow) - 09/07/2026 🥇 #1 (Family) - 08/04/2026 🥇 #1 (Spanish) - 06/01/2026 🥇 #1 (Mexico) - 09/11/2025 🥇 #1 (Autism) - 12/11/2025 🥈 #1 (Burn) - 09/07/2026 🥉 #3 (Fast) - 09/07/2026 🥉 #3 (Mlm) - 10/02/2026 🥉 #3 (Burn) - 04/01/2026 #4 (Struggles) - 09/07/2026 #19 (BxB) - 29/10/2025Complete
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.
