War of Hearts (BoyxBoy) [Book 1: Unspeakable Series]
Theo People say that love brings out the best in you and I guess their partially right. But as for myself, well that's a different story. Love brought out the good, the bad, and the ugly with in me. It's a little ironic, don't you think? That something as beautiful and seemingly pure as love can be twisted and manipulated into something so unbearably grotesque ... dark. Love in whatever form, whether it's pure or dark is all consuming and that in itself is beautiful, right? And it's really just all a game. It has to be. But I've been losing it for so long to the supposed love of my life, my everything, my...brother. I've never really been able to handle losing and it was killing me. He was killing me in this awful...beautiful game of love and I just...lost it. This game was turning into a war. A war I had to win. A war of hearts. [Warning: this story contains mature content, graphic scenes, violence, sexual situations, explicit language, drug use, boy on boy love and a whole lot of other stuff that may make you uncomfortable.

Look After You

Alexander is a middle child in the large family. At the prime age of fourteen he's starting to become confused about many things in his life such as where he fits in, what he wants to do when he's older and his sexuality. Nolan is in the same boat.

Notebook [Book One]
Aiden hid the year-long abuse from everyone; his mother, father, and baby cousin. That was, until it became too much, and his parents pulled him out of school to relocate. Evan couldn't wait to introduce his favourite cousin to the group of boys he grew up with. Maybe Aiden would finally make some friends and come to terms with the violence he faced back in London. Nathan was the quiet boy whose life had been upside down for years and showed no signs of settling. That was until he gravitated towards the pretty pink-haired boy who carried just as many painful stories. One mute; another scarred for life. They were meant to be. #1 - Teen-Drama 🌈🌈 Community Pride Recommendations 2025 🌈🌈 🌈🌈 Community Pride Recommendations 2026 🌈🌈Complete
