"A relentless cop. A brilliant hacker. An obsession that could destroy them both."

Detective Xavier Cross doesn't stop until he catches his mark-and his latest target, the elusive hacker known only as Ph. S, is no exception. With every daring escape, Ph. S becomes an obsession, the young hacker's cunning mind and infuriating smirks pulling Xavier into a chase he can't afford to lose.

Ph. S is a ghost in the digital world, a genius who thrives on outsmarting anyone who tries to catch him. But even ghosts have their secrets. Alone and on the run, Ph. S hides scars deeper than any database breach, wounds he'll never let anyone see. Until Xavier gets too close.
When their game of cat and mouse collides with forces neither of them can control, the lines between hunter and prey begin to blur. 

In a world of lies and betrayal, trusting each other could be the most diangerous move they make.

Dark, steamy, and full of twists, Bound by Shadows is a gripping tale of forbidden desire and secrets that could shatter everything.

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy] by FKNichols17
55 parts Complete Mature
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...
You Stress Me Out (BoyxBoy) by XxCatXKittyxX
53 parts Ongoing Mature
Chase Michaels became a doctor on a whim - nothing more, nothing less - and the same applied when it came to choosing where to work. He decided on the Junpei Institution based on a fleeting sense of interest after seeing their ad. Most of the things he's done in life were decided in a similar "spur of the moment" way, including going to medical school in the States. This time, due to his complete lack of research, Chase finds himself surrounded by violent, testosterone-driven young criminals, the absolute worst of the worst, who only have the facility standing between them and a dissolute future of felonies and anarchy. For a man whose adult life has been decidedly carefree, his time at Junpei threatens to overwhelm and drown him in a contracted five years of stress. His personal Hell reaches feverish heights after a certain student takes a vocal, damning interest in him, a man by the name of Luca Nixon. Tethered to the No Man's Land that is Junpei, Chase is securely kept within Luca's perplexing hands, tossed and turned about by his every whim. And though the doctor has his doubts that the "student" is who he says he is, Chase finds himself pulled in by a confusing sense of connection, unable to shut the other man out completely. Their budding relationship increasingly threatens to break down every coping mechanism he's carefully gathered and force him back into a reality that nearly destroyed him as a child. And Luca is all too happy to guide him, hand in hand, every step of the way back into the muck. |☆| Warning: This is a gay dark romance novel. There will be man on man action. And some violence, I guess. |☆|
