"You can't hold the tide, but sometimes it holds you--until it doesn't."

- - - -

     Elias Andrews is everything a small-town boy is told to be--polished, perfect, and utterly trapped. Maverick Reid Jr. is none of those things, yet everything Elias can't stop wanting. Their words collide in quiet moments and stolen glances, but is love enough to drown out the echoes of doubt and expectation?

     When the tide shifts, Elias and Maverick are forced to confront the truth: love Is as fleeting as the waves, and some hearts are bound to drift apart.

     This isn't a story of staying--it's a story of letting go. Where sand meets skin, and longing meets loss, Elias and Maverick must decide if their love can survive the undertow.

Ocean. B.L.U.E (Book 2) by CammyDen12

After everything that happened, Elias and Alexander finally have each other. Their love is steady, their bond deeper than ever-but some things still feel uncertain. As they navigate new territory in their relationship, the lines between passion and vulnerability begin to blur, forcing them to confront questions neither of them are fully ready to answer. When their school takes a trip to the U.S. , Elias and Alexander find themselves surrounded by people who challenge what they thought they knew-about love, about themselves, and about where they fit in the world. What happens when the things that once felt so sure start to shift? And what does it really mean to belong to someone?

Growing Hearts (Book 1) by CammyDen12

Elias and Alexander have spent the two years building something beautiful together-a love that is deep, raw, and completely theirs. But even love as strong as theirs isn't immune to the complications of the past. After a kiss with an old flame shatters Elias's trust, the boys are left to navigate the fragile space between heartbreak and forgiveness. As they attempt to rebuild what was broken, unresolved emotions, lingering jealousy, and the ghosts of first loves threaten to pull them apart. But love isn't just about promises-it's about proving them. When Elias takes Alexander back to a place filled with memories of self-discovery and longing, they are forced to confront not just their past mistakes but the undeniable truth of what they mean to each other. Amidst stolen kisses by the lake, whispered confessions under starlit skies, and the warmth of bodies tangled together in the quiet of night, Elias realizes that loving Alexander has never been the problem-believing he is enough for him has.

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️ by Iris-hope

"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.

No More Wasting Time by Creative_Writer407

[BOOK 2] Diego Santiago was not your average teenager. He had a loving mother, a great best friend, a beautiful friend, an ex-boyfriend that gave him a traumatic experience, a soon-to-be stepbrother that helped along in that traumatic experience, a friend turned enemy, and finally, a messy slight crush. It's a handful. He was no longer a nobody but somebody with a bad name and a target on his head. He messed with the school's king, and he needed to face the consequences, or so they say and believe.

Caden was on a mission, a mission to get back his soon-to-be stepbrother and his lover that meant more to him than he could express in words. He was growing desperate and was ready to do just about anything. Even if that meant leaving behind Victor, who he once saw was the closest thing to a brother he'd ever get.

Rage With Benefits by apparentlyelle

"I fucking hate you." "You shouldn't really say things like that when my dick is up your ass, Norris." Two hot-headed athletes with overflowing rage and unwinding sex drive is very much never a good combo. Bryce and Ian never see eye to eye on things. Despite being caged in the same group of friends in the same swimming team of the - yes, you guessed it - same high school, the star swimmers of Norton High hadn't exactly made good first impressions to each other on the ill-fated day they met, and let's just say things spiraled horribly from there. The two rage-fueled boys always thought that they're in this feud for the long haul until one argument escalated into something that at no point in any of their lives would they allow to happen if only they did not get a little too out of control. Sex. There's a thin line between love and hate, and Bryce and Ian's barrier just keeps getting thinner and thinner. A.K.A. Bryce and Ian were fuckbuddies... up until they weren't.
