Two Heartbeats on One Page by In-Decent-Pause

Jordan's in love with two people (who are in love with each other), he hasn't spoken to his parents in five years, and despite working almost sixty hours a week, he's still ages away from having enough to pay for the three surgeries he needs to complete his gender confirmation. This would be a problem anywhere, but particularly so in small-town, homophobic Arizona. He needs a vacation. Darcey's been discharged from the Army after knowing nothing else for eight years, he's unemployed, and, at twenty-seven years old, he has no choice but to move back in with his parents. Since his discharge was dishonorable, he doesn't even have health insurance to treat his PTSD. He just needs some time to get back on his feet and reconnect with his family. Instead, they find each other. When Jordan takes Darcey home from a party, they mean it to be a one-night stand, but they turn out to be too compatible to want to give each other up. Neither wants a relationship, but a straightforward, no-strings-attached friends-with-benefits setup will keep things nice and neat, right? Nope. Instead, everything gets messier. The third and final book in the Holding Our Hearts In Our Hands series. Cover by the super talented MargaretSmoke! Thank you!: https://www.wattpad.com/user/MargaretSmoke

I Should Be Proud Of Who I Am[BLM][LGBTQ+][Complete] by bisexual_miki20

This is based on black history month and pride. I will play myself as the main character: "I've never really been proud of who I was. I didn't like my skin color and I didn't like how I looked. People asked me why. I told them...I don't look pretty. People ask me to choose; either date a guy or date a girl...I said 'nah I don't want choose, I'm good with the choice I have made.' I Should Be Proud Of Who I Am. I wasn't proud back then until now." - Miki Davenport(me) Trigger Warning⚠️: homophobic, abuse, language, sex, violence, blood Please read if 18+...I love making stories and I hate some of the trigger warnings bc I have some of those, but it goes with the story so be careful. All of you are like my kids, I want you all to BE VERY CAREFUL. If you see something you don't like, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to the next chapter or the chapter after that or just don't read the book. Word Count: 60k words

Don't Call Me Hero by ElizaLentzski

It's been over a year since Cassidy Miller retired from the United States Marine Corps, but try telling that to her nightmares. She knew that coming back after eight years in a war zone wouldn't be easy, but she'd underestimated the real difficulties of transitioning back to civilian life. War is hell, but the aftermath is endless. Looking for a fresh start, she's left her friends and career in Minneapolis to be a police officer in northern Minnesota. It's in the tiny town of Embarrass where she learns more about Julia Desjardin. The city prosecutor is cool, professional, and untouchable. But she and Cassidy have history, and Cassidy isn't going to let her easily forget that. For all their surface differences, Cassidy and Julia have more in common than they first realized-both are reluctant to hand over their pasts to be judged and studied. But it might take someone just as damaged as the other to help each cope with the skeletons in their respective closets. Three Chapter Excerpt: Full novel available in ebook and paperback on Amazon

Ultraviolet by laurendoubleu

Forced to enlist as a guardian, a pacifist finds hope within a passionate singer. --- (A Triple Point story.) Mackenzie Olomana enjoys chatting up strangers, giving great hugs, and crying for happy endings; he absolutely does not like violence, horror movies, and when people are in pain. So being forced to enlist as a guardian, where he's surrounded by everything he dislikes on a daily basis, probably wasn't the best career path for him. Unfortunately, his healing meta-abilities didn't give him much of a choice, but he's willing to accept that (sort of) and just take life one day at a time. Patience finally pays off when he meets Jordan Minseok Song. To most, Jordan is a successful pop star known for his silky voice and incredibly polite personality. But there's a goofy and charming persona hiding behind Jordan's public exterior, and finding it leaves Mack with a warmth he never expected. Except something is holding Jordan back, and Mack can see it's hurting him in ways that others might not notice. Fortunately, Mack knows a thing or two about healing, even when it involves pains of the past. With his help, maybe then Jordan can feel his warmth for himself. And maybe then they can both find happiness, together. --- Word Count: +45k Genres: Romance, Science Fiction

Guidestar Combatants by ClayHPhoenix

As the world began to crumble, a group of family and friends were thrust into a battle for survival. The military's presence grew stronger as the president declared marshal law, causing tension to escalate. Meanwhile, at Guidstar Aluminum, the team faced their own intense challenges, and a group of determined teens struggled to make it through each day. The air was thick with fear and uncertainty, and every move was a fight for tomorrow. The once familiar city streets were now a war zone, with rubble and chaos everywhere. The sound of gunfire and cries for help echoed through the streets, while the pungent smell of smoke and fear filled the air. In the midst of this chaos, the characters were forced to rely on their instincts and fight for their survival. Their actions spoke louder than words as they navigated through the danger and uncertainty. Each decision they made could mean the difference between life and death. In this new reality, there was no room for hesitation or weakness. The characters' determination and bravery were put to the test as they fought to stay alive. Despite the overwhelming odds, they never gave up, their will to survive driving them forward. The setting was a constant reminder of the dire situation they were in, and the characters were forced to adapt and find strength in the face of adversity. Through their actions and dialogue, their personalities and motivations were revealed, creating a sense of depth and connection with the reader. Every detail, from the sound of footsteps on broken glass to the sight of a loved one's bloodied face, was vivid and meaningful, pulling the reader into the story. It was a fight for survival, and the characters were determined to make it through, no matter the cost.
