The Ties That Bind (Jesse's Story) by EverleighAshcroft

{This book can be read as a standalone. You do not need to read Burning Desire first.} You loved him in Burning Desire as the sexy, confident love interest of Kate Crawford. Now, Jesse Reese is back with his own standalone - a sequel to the Watty's Longlisted novel, and a continuation of his story! After a spicy love triangle ends without him getting the girl, Jesse Reese is left to pick up the pieces of his broken heart and move on. He swears off relationships until he can get his career perfectly on track, blaming his company's falling numbers on his recent lack of focus on work. This only lasts a little while, however, once he meets beautiful, charismatic Vanessa Hamilton, his business partner's newly hired assistant. There's something familiar about this woman, however, and it doesn't take Jesse long to remember where he's seen her before: The pair mingled on a New Year's Eve flight three years ago and shared a midnight kiss between strangers, knowing they'd never see each other again. Although Vanessa pretends she doesn't recall the event, saying he must be mistaken - it must've been another woman who looked like her, Jesse is positive that this is the girl from the plane. He doesn't know why she's avoiding the truth, but he makes it his mission to find out. After all, Jesse hasn't been able to erase that kiss from his memory for the past three years. Eternally intrigued by the woman who danced away with his heart in an airport terminal, the longing to taste her lips again is now an overwhelming blaze of need - a fire only Vanessa can put out. © 2021 Evergreen Books.

Hate Me Harder [BxB] ✔️ [NOT EDITED] by UndercoverAuthor8

Alan Baker hates Max Winters. There's nothing more to say. Max was everything Alan wanted to be. He just couldn't stop himself from hating him so much that it was hard to even look up at the guy. But what happens when Alan realizes that there's more to the perfectness? Then, it also doesn't help that his heart flips and jumps every time. But, of course, he'd never accept that. --- "Get the fuck away from me." Max sighed, shaking his head. "Dude, when are you going to give up? You hate me, yeah, we get it." "Well, I'm not satisfied so hate me back." Max gulped down his snort. "Sure, okay. I hate you too?" Alan pushed past the front doors of the school, not even giving a glance back. "It's not enough. Hate me harder." --- [This book is proudly presented for entertainment. Don't copy. Don't hate. Don't forget to vote and share.] P.S. This isn't edited and there are edit mistakes. For example, you might catch Max's last name being Nights in the blurb inside the story at the first part, but from the start of the story, it's mentioned as Winters, which is why I changed it here as well. Don't hate on it. Don't be shy to point the edit mistakes out. Don't be rude about it. For those who are here to read the heart leaping, stomach turning story between Alan and Max: Welcome to Hate Me Harder! This story contains mature wordings, a lot of it, and mature content and a little bit of violence mentioned. #1 in mxm - 11th of September 2021 #3 in bxb - 11th of September 2021 #1 in lgbt+/bxb - 12th of September 2021 #1 in bxblove - 12th of September 2021 #7 in bl - 22nd of September 2021 #1 in writtenwithpride - 11th of November 2022

Toy Soldier {ManxManxMan} by theprodigypenguin

**TOY MASTER SERIES: BOOK TWO**SEQUEL TO PUPPET//READ PUPPET FIRST PLEASE** Dakota Bailey has been forced to conform to the belief of other's since he was young; remaining in the closet because of fear, forced to praise a God he hated because his mother's extreme views ruled his life. When his family died in the bombs, he was freed from their beliefs, but at the same time watched the love of his life die, and for years he let the pain of his loss overwhelm him and govern his life. He believed himself to be nothing but a toy soldier, broken and gathering dust, waiting to be melted down for someone else's purposes, paint chipping away and pieces missing. The one constant in his life had always been the stars above, he cared about nothing else, but when those stars collide in front of his very eyes, he's reminded that loving is not a crime, and that he deserves to live as much as those around him, because broken soldier or not, he still had a right to fight. "Either way I'm still broken, my paint chipping, pieces missing, still pushing forward, still struggling, still just a toy fighting for my right to survive. What a cruel world we live in..." ((rated M, will contain explicit content, sexual themes, rape, blood, violence, polygamous relationship, & mature language)) **cover art by Ramzy Kamen on DA: https://ramzykamen.deviantart.com/**

Sweet Like Hello (Book 2 Hello Series) by redladiebug

She's a single mom with something to prove. He's a burned-out pastry chef with walls taller than his layer cakes. The kitchen isn't big enough for the tension simmering between them-but neither one's backing down. Abby Meeks is no stranger to hard work. As a single mom to a spirited three-year-old, she's used to juggling chaos with a smile and a to-go coffee. So when she lands the manager position at Marino's Bakery-Baltimore's trendiest new café-she's ready to prove herself. What she's not ready for is Julian Marino. Julian walked away from the high-stakes D.C. pastry scene for a quieter life, but he didn't count on hiring a manager who challenges his every decision... or whose laugh sticks with him long after closing time. Abby is too stubborn, too creative, and far too distracting for a man who's sworn off complications-and she's made it clear she's not looking for anything more than a paycheck and a fresh start. But flour flies, cinnamon ratios are challenged, and the heat between them starts rising faster than his sourdough starter. When secrets from Julian's past surface-and Abby's carefully balanced world threatens to tip-the line between enemies and something more gets dangerously thin. Because sometimes the recipe for love starts with a little too much spice... and ends with something sweet like hello.
