If you have to go through hell for those you love, would you do it? Would you lie, cheat and risk your heart being broken just to know they will be safe? For Quinndalin Woodlander the answer was easy. Yes. 

Her mother disappeared about two months ago and she has tried everything to find her, but it just kept on leading from one dead end to another. So Quinn decided to seek help from the local vigilante, The Dark Archer, but it turns out that his true identity is non other than someone she despises, but she is desperate. He offers to help her but it comes at a price. A price that seems harmless at first, but soon Quinn realizes that she's playing part in a bigger, deadlier game. 

Will she continue being someone else's pawn? Or will she become a player herself? After all, every rose needs to learn how to use her thorns.All Rights Reserved

Eighteen-year-old Yael was a talented mask-maker apprentice-but not anymore. Now, she's a spy, an imposter and a murderess. In the land of Vynam, all must wear masquerade masks to ward off the curse of the spectres, ghost-like beings that kill with a single touch.

The Beastkeeper's Bride by Ashful

Mrs. Addilyn's Anxious Hearts Society- For a mere two shillings per annum, a selection of human and supernatural species are at your fingertips for perusal- simply choose your desired partner and we'll do the rest! Fine print: all participating clientele need be of sentient capabilities and payment made upfront. Millie Adams was angry with her lot in life- everything had been taken away from her, leaving her in the hands of a relative who endured her simply to have access to her wealth and inheritance. When her cousin realises that Millie is no meek lady willing to do his bidding, he decides to utilize any means necessary to silence his niece, including magic. Knowing that she had to take matters into her own hands, and fast, an advertisement in the societal papers provides Millie with one last avenue of hope: Mrs. Addilyn's Anxious Hearts Society Matchmaking Service. Blayne Leowyn's human name was James Woode according to the documentation this world had provided him, though he was anything but. He lived a solitary existence in the forests skirting around the capital city. The beasts and creatures that dwelled in the area were under his care, tempered and appeased by his tenuous administrations to prevent discord between human and fae. He has little interest in the human way, though when his path crosses with a human woman thanks to Mrs. Addilyn's interfering services, he could not ignore the allure he felt kindling within him. But his unwitting match, Miss Adams, became furious and aloof, and his need for companionship would surely lack considering the woman was mute. However, he could not deny there was something about her... This is a historical fantasy romance novel, heavy focus on the romance.

Healing Ties (Ties, Book 2) | ✓ by overlordpotatoe

[Sequel to Frayed Ties] Fanner has spent his entire life being an unwanted failure of a Companion, so even if training to become a healer means a life of isolation and pain it isn't so bad because at least it's something he's good at.

Yore isn't expecting to find an injured Companion of all things on his way back home, and he's immediately suspicious. He wants to treat the young man kindly and tell him everything is going to be okay, but there's too much at stake to risk telling him anything until Yore can be sure he's not there to spy on them. Can they find trust in one another while they're both holding onto so many secrets?

Vail of Thorns by DaizyChai

Our story begins in a world where magic is a currency, and power is the only true god. The Fae are hunted, imprisoned, or bent into service. The human elite trade their souls for a taste of their waning power, while the common folk, shackled by fear of the unknown, betray their own neighbors for a whisper of safety. In this shadowed land, an innocent love is warped by desperate need and the crushing weight of expectation. From this corruption, an ancient evil stirs. Its goal is to shatter the veil that protects our world, to tear open the Fae Realm and drain its magic dry-all to feed a sinister hunger for dominion, no matter the cost. Darkness, after all, does not always storm the gates. Often, it seeps in through the cracks in the human heart. The journey ahead is long, paved with secrets and woven with lies. But hold fast. For even the deepest night must break, and a new dawn awaits on the horizon.

Guardian (mxm) by Forever_Be_Loved

Book 2 in Stray Series. I know I'm not worthy of a second chance. I've taken away so many others' second chances. I took their lives in my hands and each time chose mine over theirs.

It didn't even matter in the end. She's gone now. I'm all alone. Somehow, for some reason, a second chance was bestowed on me. But I don't want it. I can't have it.

Loving Zach (MxM) by DKDaisy

Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
