Ben "Kenzie" McKenzie is a living god.
Captain of New Zealand's world-famous All Blacks.
Revered for his athleticism, admired for his leadership, adored for leading his team to World Cup glory.
Which is awesome.
It really is.
It's just that the responsibility is starting to feel heavier than the jersey, and his body is paying the price. Frankly, he's tired.
And despite everyone insisting it's time to settle down, he's still waiting for the spark everyone swears is real.
James Ngata-Bianchi is finally home.
Back under the long white cloud, chasing the dream he's carried since childhood. He's focused on earning his place, keeping his head down, and staying professional - especially when it comes to his captain.
He's putting aside girls... and boys.
Trying very hard to ignore how much he enjoys making the quiet, solid man laugh.
And wondering why someone that gorgeous never seems to have a girl on his arm.
It's a small country.
Secrets don't last.
And when a line breaks, there's no going back.

The Lines We Cross
The world is full of surprises, and people are not always what they seem. This is especially true for Kenzie, Matt, and Reed. Reed Basil is the quintessential all-American southern boy, with the NFL beckoning him just like his father before him. However, he is not content with the life everyone expects of him. He has dreams and desires that extend beyond being the all-American good southern man that people expect of him, and which his father wants for him. Matt Jacobs is a quiet, smart, and good-looking guy that most people write off once they get to know him or he starts talking. No one gives him a chance unless they have a goal to use him for his brain or to get closer to his roommate. But what happens when his dreams come true, and his best friend finally sees how much he cares for him? Unfortunately, the next day brings them back to the real-life challenges that one may not want to face. Kenzie Underwood is the kind of person who keeps to herself, but she's not one to be underestimated. She has a sharp intuition that never fails her and a smart tongue.

Is she seeing something that isn't there, or is there more to this story than meets the eye? As their paths converge, these three individuals will discover that the world is full of surprises. They'll have to navigate unexpected twists and turns to find their place in a world that doesn't always make sense. It's a story of love, friendship, and self-discovery that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️
"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.Complete
Cocky Captain
It was the stupidest thing I'd ever done-flying halfway around the world, to a man I thought I might fall in love with. My raging hormones got in the way before I even boarded the plane. A hot military man, or should I say god, was standing behind me in line, staring at me with his steely gray eyes that were piercing my libido. More like awakening the sexual goddess in me, aka the virgin. From the moment he opened his cocky mouth and sat down next to me on the plane, I wanted him...no, I mean I hated him. A girl could get confused by a sexy beast in a uniform. My head wanted the sensible, sweet man, but my heart evidently wanted the cocky captain. If my journey taught me anything, it's that people are not always what they seem.Complete
