This story is about a boy who lives on the Southside of the Bronx NY. Like most people, he's got a past and thought it was buried until one day, his already chaotic teen life slowly begins to unravel when an 'old friend' comes back to his city and threatens it all. 18 year old Christian Romero goes through one hell of a week and as the days go by, he realizes that it's time to stop holding everything under the surface and change the life he thought he was destined to live when his brother goes missing one day. For most his life, he was raised to be tough and was always seen as the "hot head" of the family, but when it all comes down to him, he has to put aside his pride to protect everyone in his circle. And as the clock ticks, he knows the pressure could change everything for better or worse. Through the unraveling, he's forced to rediscover what he thought he knew from family, friends, love and even himself. When the final day comes, will he be able to save who he is from his past, future and the people he loves? Sacrifice is easier said than done.

Plan Of Seduction
"I hate you - so much Tripp." More confusion because, once more, wasn't this a good thing? "Why did you have to say that? What if," A little quieter, just above a whisper. "What if we mess up our friendship?" "But what if we don't?" "You don't know that," I bumped his nose with my finger. "And neither do you. So, why don't we give it a shot?" He bit down on his bottom lip, hesitation and worry filling his gaze. __ This is literally a story that follows the plot of two best friends realizing their feelings for each other, yes, I know, very cliche, but I enjoyed writing it.

FADING ECHOES OF US
Alexander Villaventura is a rich teenage boy whose life took a drastic turn after the death of his mother. His world shattered, and so did the way his father treated him. Despite trying his best to live up to his family's expectations, Alexander was always treated like the black sheep of the family. No matter how hard he worked, his efforts were never enough, and he was constantly blamed for things beyond his control. This created a growing distance between him and his father, leaving him to navigate a life filled with emotional turmoil and isolation. William Timothy Montenegro, on the other hand, is a young and successful businessman who was exposed to the world of business and money from an early age. He grew up in the business world, learning from his grandfather, and eventually became the heir to his family's fortune. Though wealthy and well-established, William's life lacked something-something real and personal that went beyond just success and material gain. The fates of these two young men collided when their paths crossed unexpectedly. Though their backgrounds were worlds apart, their shared pain and struggles connected them in ways they never imagined. The moment they met, their lives began to change in ways neither of them expected. For Alexander, William was a strange yet comforting presence-someone who understood the weight of carrying family expectations and the deep loneliness that came with it. Meanwhile, William found himself drawn to Alexander's vulnerability and strength, admiring how the younger man silently carried the burden of his family's expectations. What started as a chance encounter soon evolved into something more. A bond formed between them, a connection neither could deny. As the days went on, both began to realize they were no longer the same people they were before meeting each other.Complete

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!
