The House (SAMPLE)
A charming roommate. A hopeless crush. A coming-of-age MM romance full of humor, heart, and heat. Liam // I didn't plan on falling for my roommate. I just wanted to survive college without embarrassing myself in front of Morgan-who, for the record, is everything I'm not. He's confident, charming, and somehow even looks good doing laundry. I keep telling myself it's just a crush, that the late-night talks and inside jokes don't mean anything. But every time he smiles at me, it feels less like a phase and more like falling. He's completely out of my depth. Morgan // Liam's chaos shouldn't be my problem, but somehow, it's become my favorite part of the day. He's awkward, loud, and way too easy to care about. I've had flings before, sure, but nothing that's ever felt like this-like coming home to someone who actually sees me. The rules were simple: don't get attached. But with Liam, the line between friendship and something real keeps blurring, and I'm not sure I want to stop it anymore. 📖 Part of The House Collection The House is part of The House Collection, a series of interconnected queer romances about messy friendships, found family, and falling in love when you least expect it.

Amber
Just a short story about two dense people who can't seem to figure out that they're in love with each other. Note: This story is rated mature for swearing! ___ "Okay, okay, just... follow me. I got this," She said, cracking her knuckles eagerly. I would follow her anywhere, I had thought then, without missing a beat. And then I almost tripped over my feet in surprise. Oh. Oh no.Complete

Revels End
Wilmuh Tremblerod knew from a young age that she would become the world's greatest playwright. Unfortunately, the world, and her talent (or lack of it) disagreed. Until one day, Linus, a young and relatively untrained muse finds her in a bar and inspires her to great things. Of course, she isn't the person he intended inspiring, but everyone makes mistakes. With the subsequent loss of Linus' powers, Willmuh's ability to write compelling and mesmerising plays runs out of control and an alarming number of people decide that Wilmuh has become some literary god, meaning that her very creativity becomes a danger to the world. When a competition is announced to find the kingdom's greatest entertainers, Wilmuh chooses to use her new-found talents to seal her place in history. But with rival entertainers and people in authority rallying against her, Wilmuh may find it harder to achieve than she first thought, and her troupe of wayward and strange thespians may not be able to stop the world from falling under her accidental-spell. And there are faeries, too. But watch out for them, they're really shady. Contains a gratuitous and shameless parody of a Doctor Who episode. I'm not even sorry.
Bestie Boys
Mia met Trevor, Liam and Sebastian in 5th grade. At the time she thought they were sore losers, but they soon turned into her bestie boys. Mia is adored and loved by her boys through the years. They are there for every moment and memory. College is approaching and her boys have secrets they need to share. Will these secrets tear their friendship apart or will Mia decide she can't live without her bestie boys? ***** Mia My dad used to tell me stories of princesses and knights in shining armor. It's one of the only memories I have of him. I'm thankful for those stories because I was able to recognize a real knight when I saw one. I met three on a kickball field in 5th grade. They were sweaty, dusty and clad in athletic clothing instead of armor, but they were real knights. Not the fairy tale kind from books and fables, but the kind of knights that support your dreams and encourage your growth. This is just the start of the story for this princess and her knights. ***** Bestie Boys is a full length novel and can be read as a stand alone, but suggested reading order is: #1 Cassidy and Carter #2 Bestie Boys #3 Sentinel Boys Bestie boys is a reverse harem #whychoose romance. Mia will not have to chose between her love interests. This book does contain sexual content and is made for viewers over the age of 18. Stand alone, multiple POV, 59,000 words with a HEA🖤Complete
For the love of books.
Michael Lee never planned on starting a book club. He barely talks to people, prefers fictional characters over real ones and is perfectly happy with his cat and avoiding feelings. But one overbearing aunt and a lapse in judgment later, Mickey suddenly finds himself hosting monthly book club meetings. He expected awkward silences and polite debates. Instead, he got chaos, hot messes and the terrifying possibility of actually caring. And then there's Seth Valdés. College athlete. Unreasonably nice and way too pretty. Now sitting on Mickey's couch like it's the most normal thing in the world. What started as a "stupid little book club" turns out to be the beginning of some pretty chaotic friendships and maybe, just maybe, some silly little feelings that look a lot like love. ~ A queer romance that contains mature content.
