Seventeen-year-old David Otto is rarely seen as anything more than a misfit.  With his eyeliner, black clothes, and piercings, he's "different". But his troubles extend beyond school, to parents who don't accept him, and to a traumatic event in his past that made him withdraw even more. With the threat of not graduating, an unknown shared grief with the quarterback, and parents who reject the very person he is, life in his hometown wasn't very appealing for David. He was all set to run and leave everything behind, until he met twenty-four-year-old Army recruiter Jason Travis, whose casual intervention would change the course of David's life forever.All Rights Reserved

#1 in LGBTQ, FACEBOOK, GAY, BxB, & many more || When Jason and Johnny, the high school football team's star players, come out on Facebook as gay lovers, all hell breaks loose in their small Appalachian town. The boys' lives, and those of some of their teammates who come out to them, are plunged into scrutiny and chaos as they struggle to be their authentic selves in a culture-war society that still demands they do not. Relive with 'Jacey' the amazing week in the summer of 2015 when they go from popular local heroes to the very center of the biggest scandal ever to hit town, having to face homophobic attacks, jealous rivals, an attempt on their lives, unexpected horrors from the Deep Web, and eventually ... murder, all while on their way to becoming nationwide Pride celebs via their social media 'Coming Out'. Praised by readers for its characters, realism, sensuous love scenes, and its strong subtext of queer theory, the book has been highly successful on several online sites. First posted onto Wattpad in 2016 and still going strong now in 2024, it has become an online LGBTQ niche favorite. Copyright 2016, 2017, 2018 by Sanchez Mariano. All rights reserved.

Adore me- the fourth novel by 534509a

The fourth instalment "Ready baby" he smiles over at me. I gaze at him with his white shirt undone and his jean shorts and can't believe we're doing this together. "I'm ready Jay" I say meeting his piercing blue eyes. I recount all of those mornings sitting next to him in the lecture hall denying that I was attracted to him, his continuous comments all to keep conversation with me. Our constant game of cat and mouse and all of the silly arguments. All of the parties where we made out with each other behind closed doors and then denied each other the following day. Saying his name in my sleep and dreaming about him before we even got here. And now we are here completely sure about one another, wildly in love and both ready for forever. Taylor is presented with an offer she is unable to refuse in this fourth instalment which follows on from desire me. It's safe to say life is going well in all directions. Love has never been better and life is set in motion through her new job as principal dancer at a top dance company in New York. Both possessing a love of art and creativity, Matthew James Henderson is determined to keep his place in her life at all costs. No matter the consequences, Matty is not willing to give up.

She's a bartender, but, when the bills keep getting piled up and she's too prideful to ask for help from others will she resort to her last option - stripping - or will she hold onto her pride and drown in a pile of debt? On the weekends, she spends time with Tyrus (her daughter's dad) and Tyrus's parents. So yeah, Kai may have a lot on her plate, but her two best friends (Teagan and Clay) make her feel less alone and help her with Royal when they can. Plus, Clay has a family of his own. A family that has always been welcoming of Teagan, Royal and Kai. So, when Noah, the tattooed-filled, motor-cycling heart breaker from her school waltzes on in the strip club she works at, Kai starts to freak out and for good reason; he completely spins her life around, but is it for better or worse? And what will he do when he realizes she has a daughter and the dad is still very much in the picture? Read to find out! 18+ for swearing, smut, vulgarity and more; not for the feint of heart and is dark.

All Things Holy by namesakens

❝I know you love God or whatever, but I want to do the most unholy things to you.❞ Small towns harbor two types of people: those that live and die within the confines of it, and those that get the hell out while they can. Hudson is one of the lucky few with the means to pack his bags and run as fast as he can once he graduates high school. Although he can't quite cut ties with his family and leave his past in the past, he can take advantage of a fresh start in the city that never sleeps: New York City. College is a chance for Hudson to find out who he really is--and who he wants to be. He's a good boy with a religious knack and a girlfriend back home who doesn't mind that he's saving himself for marriage. His deepest secret that he likes men is neither new nor surprising, more so downright despicable. Damnable, even. When he meets Zane, an eccentric friend of his roommate, his entire earth is turned on its axis and the life he thought he wanted vanishes. Zane opens his eyes to a world of freedom full of lust and sin. And for the love of all things holy, he likes it.
