Elliot Everett Adler is everything his parents want him to be: a straight-A student, a soccer star, and the perfect son of a highly respected priest and a devout teacher. But beneath his polished exterior lies a storm of secrets and desires that could shatter the life his parents have so carefully built for him.
As Elliot navigates the treacherous waters of high school, he finds himself drawn to Asher Rhodes Carson, the one guy he's supposed to despise. Asher is everything Elliot isn't-cocky, carefree, and unafraid to be himself. But as their rivalry turns into something much deeper, Elliot is forced to confront the truth he's been hiding from everyone, including himself.
In a world where appearances are everything and conformity is law, Elliot must decide whether to follow the path laid out for him or to take a risk that could change his life forever. With his family's expectations weighing him down and his own desires pulling him in a different direction, Elliot stands at the edge of seventeen, where the choices he makes will define who he really is.

Kinda Complicated
Ash Mercer has built a reputation as the tough, untouchable guy who keeps his distance from everyone, but a rainy night outside a formal party changes everything when he meets Micah Hayes - a clumsy, soft-spoken outsider who seems to stumble through life with an open heart. What begins as a chance encounter grows into a series of unexpected meetings in cafés, on late-night walks, and in the quiet corners of the city, where sarcasm and shyness slowly turn into playful banter, trust, and something neither of them expected. As their bond deepens, both are forced to confront feelings they don't quite know how to name: Ash, terrified of being vulnerable, and Micah, unsure if someone like him could ever be truly loved. Through misunderstandings, laughter, and the ache of almost losing each other, they discover that love can be messy, tender, and worth every risk. Their story unfolds as a bittersweet yet heartwarming slow burn - two imperfect young men learning that sometimes the person who catches you when you fall is exactly the one you were meant to find.

🖤✨THE LAST SPELLBOUND✨🖤
Lucien's voice dropped to an intimate whisper beside his ear."Now tell me..what is the problem, Ezekiel? We're both men are we not? My state of undress shouldn't matter unless.."he moved to Zeke's other ear,"of course, it stirs something in you that feels..utterly inappropriate" ***** "I'm scared of the guilt you must carry,"Wren whispered."Knowing that inside you is a..a power so fierce. Knowing that at any moment, you could lose control and hurt the people around you. Or worse..yourself."Her thumb brushed gently over his knuckles."I can't possibly imagine what that weight feels like."Her gaze was unwavering, fierce in its compassion."Let me help you Zeke. Let me." 🖤✨ Dear reader, Zeke Aldren's magic has a body count. Sent off to Blackthorn Academy to control his magic that almost wiped out his entire village, he plans to be invisible.All he wants is control, and maybe, to feel human again. He finds that humanity in Wren, a banshee whose quiet love feels like a sanctuary. She is his ideal first love-the exact replica of what he'd always been taught to want. With her, he can almost believe in the simple, safe story he was given. But everything changes when he meets Lucien. Centuries old, utterly shameless, and whose beauty is as haunting and magnetically terrifying as his reputation, the vampire ignites a different kind of fire within Zeke-one that has nothing to do with magic and everything to do with a desire he never knew he could feel, one that could devour them both. Drawn to Lucien's dangerous allure, Zeke is forced to question everything: his power, his purpose, and the very foundation of who he is allowed to love. Wren felt safe, an anchor for his humanity but Lucien was a challenge against everything Zeke thought he knew about love and himself. In my book, love isn't just a choice..it's a weapon. *Love or loyalty? Light or dark? The wrong choice could doom them all..but the right one might destroy Zeke's heart.* Enjoy : )
