When Teal helps an injured soldier by hand-delivering a scroll to the Emperor, he is offered a place in the Emperor's harem. Teal is of Lombock descent however, a cannibalistic race of beings who were believed to have died out. Having grown up on the outskirts of the Empire, Teal finds adjusting to life as the Emperor's concubine difficult, especially when he starts to fall for the Emperor's number one concubine instead.  As he begins to learn about his origins, he also stumbles on old dark secrets; traitorous spies, unfinished disputes, and old enemies from neighboring kingdoms hide in plain sight within the palace walls, all threatening to ignite Teal's true identity and with it, cause the return of a race of beings who once controlled the world with horrific consequences. The only way out? A possible alliance with a defiant and strong-willed princess and a group of magical assassins who wish to control the world as they see fit. 

(Contains mature content)

This story was inspired while reading the book "Emperor Dowager Cixi" by Jung Chang. Quite a bit of Ancient Roman politics also inspired/influenced me.

My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE. There will be some instances/scenes/suggestions of sexual acts and will portray gay relationships between males AND will make allusion of an incestuous relationship between brothers. If you do not enjoy stories of this nature please leave now. I will not condone/defend/accept any sort of attacks on my stories, my characters or myself. ********************************************* Antonio Gage March is mourning the loss of his father and the end of his one year relationship with his boyfriend after finding him in bed with another man. He can't do anything about his father because the man is dead, the man who's been his best friend, his hero is gone forever and there is nothing, absolutely nothing he could do to bring him back. What hurts too is that he can't hate Terry for cheating on him because the way Terry looks at the boy, Gage wishes a man would look at him like that. Gage is desperate to feel anything other than pain. ********** Lexus Jenner is tired of his mother forcing her dreams for him down his throat. The life she wants him to live, a job she wants him to take not once asking him if he wants any of it for himself. When an opportunity at finding out who his father was comes at him he jumps at it, never mind the man was already dead and buried. *********** A chance encounter between Gage and Lexus leaves both men wondering, believing in love at first sight. Everything seemed to be going in their favor, never mind that they've only known each other for a day and a night. That is until Gage's mother drops some news on them that had both men loathing themselves, but can't seem to regret loving each each other. *************************************************************************************************************************************** Copyright © 2016 by @notbackingdown

Meet Nerovsky (Nero) Poston. He started working at MegCorp, a multi-alotofmoney dollar company. All he wants: live a low-key, simple life. But he can't because one, he has too many secrets that mess with his personal life, including his secret double life as a "justice" vigilante. Secondly, he somehow managed to get deeply entangled with his boss and finds himself falling for him, a person he feels he doesn't deserve Meet Leonardo Covell. He is the owner of MegCorp and the owner of a lot of money. His life is relatively smooth sailing (eg. people constantly sucking up to him), which is an absolute bore. However, after a couple of unexpected meetings with a certain newbie, he finds himself wanting to unravel the mystery. Speaking of mystery, a certain midnight hero with a familiar aura has also caught his attention... - Meet Aiden Hendrix, Nero's best friend and partner in crime. He's a tech genius who's a decent-looking, playful social butterfly. But sometimes, it's all a mere facade to hide his own secrets and issues. However, after butting heads with a certain CEO, he finds his mask breaking and unintentionally revealing a side that he never wanted to shed light on for anyone. Meet Erwin Fonzo, best friend of Leo and CEO of Nic and Co. He's a pro at faking his emotion and does so in order to make interactions less troublesome. He's considered cold due to his refusal of keeping people closer than an arm's length, but after a blue-haired man argues his way into his life, his arm's length shortens slowly as he unravels more about the man, including seeing a side of his that no one was ever meant to see. - A stereotypical romantic trope. Story's based around two couples. VERY slow burn. - DISCLAIMER: A LOT of swearing, mentions of sexual harassment (not explicit), panic attacks, mature jokes? Therefore, 16+ only kiddos The beginning is a bit trash and slow but it gets better?

To cover the traces of his depravity, Gu Xiao constricted himself to the role of a jester while being torn between the idealisation of others and reality. Gu Xiao was a slacker in school, constantly truanting and playing around. Unknowingly, when he gets glued to sitting next to Lan Yuning, the school's top student, a linked past that they never knew they shared, gradually came back to haunt them. These students weaved their way through the tangling threads of familial relationships, financial issues, examinations, and identity while enjoying most of their last high school year. [You killed him.] [If you didn't ignore him that time, then he wouldn't have died.] [It's in the past. If you keep thinking about it, it's only going to do you harm.] [Sometimes I wonder... if you would be happier if I was the one who died back then instead.] __ [I like you.] [Why... Why would you like someone like me...?] ___________________________ Warning: mentions of suicide, homophobia, and domestic abuse THIS IS A SLOW BURN so if you want to read something fast and spicy then this book isn't for you :') Cover: @CASZETTES
