Attraction isn't always logical. But it's hard to ignore when it's sitting two feet away.
Luke Montgomery just wants to pass physics. Christian Day just wants to be left alone. Being partners wasn't part of either plan, but the tension between them is undeniable.
Luke's never been into guys. Until Christian.
And Christian? He's not making it any easier to stay focused.
As lines blur and lab reports turn into stolen glances, Luke finds himself spiralling into something he can't name-something that feels dangerously close to falling.

Hate Something To Love Something
Seventeen-year-old Jude is no stranger to silence. Battling depression, anxiety, and the weight of his own thoughts, he keeps the world at arm's length-hidden behind sarcasm, long sleeves, and a heart that's forgotten how to hope. Then comes Ezra: bold, magnetic, and full of light, with a laugh that feels like summer and a presence that demands to be felt. But even sunlight casts shadows. Eighteen-year-old Ezra seems untouchable, but he's learned to wear his confidence like armor-covering up pressure, buried trauma, and the quiet fear of not being enough. When their worlds collide, it's far from perfect. Jude wants to hate Ezra for being everything he isn't. But with every fight, every shared glance, every late-night conversation-walls begin to crack. And maybe, just maybe, love isn't about fixing each other. Maybe it's about surviving-together.Complete
Jigsaws
Jace and Miles are two quiet and solitary boys, each for their own reasons, but when they both decide to find a job in the local cinema they can't seem to find common ground. Still, when a friend of Jace seems to start getting interested in Miles, their plan to ignore each other for the rest of their lives fails miserably and they're both faced with the inevitability of their mutual attraction. ~~~ It all happened so fast. There wasn't a reason or explanation, but only the sensation that things no longer were the way they were before, that something had changed, irretrievably. His life had ceased to be, it had all become a long, excruciating, endless wait, until again his heart could beat again, and his lungs could fill with the air that separated him from him, until nothing separated them anymore and finally something in Jace could rest, his muscles could relax and nothing else could make him doubt of his own existence. He was whole again, until he wasn't. The wait would resume and Jace, not able to stand it, would go back to dreaming, dreaming of him. ~~~ I found the picture on the cover on Pinterest and I have no idea if who created it gave the authorisation to use it.
