But little by little, walls begin to crumble. Laughter seeps into silence, warmth replaces coldness, and the family that wasn't supposed to be his starts to feel like home. Lucas falls first, quietly and deeply. Aiden falls later, but harder than he ever imagined. Together, they face rivera family, painful truths, and the slow, undeniable pull of a love that grows in stolen glances and whispered promises. In a world that accepts them, can two men bound by accident learn to choose each other-and rewrite the vows they never asked for? --- ✨ A slow-burn BL romance about family, healing, and love that isn't forced, but chosen. ✨Complete

The Summer I fell too hard
It was supposed to be a clean slate. New town. New school. No attention.!! Then I got stuck sitting next to Caleb Maddox - East Haven High's golden boy with dimples, a devil-may-care smirk, and the kind of energy that makes you fall without even realizing it. He doesn't remember me. But I remember everything. The summer we met. The dare. The way he promised he'd never forget me. Spoiler alert: he did. Now, I'm just "the new girl" to him.

Only to Feel This Fully [Completed]
Charlie Holloway has great friends, good grades, a steady part-time job he actually likes, and athletic ability that makes him a star in two sports, but recently it's all felt rather hollow. However, when childhood friend Theo Broussard comes back into his life, Charlie is shaken out of a years-long daze that has left him coasting through his teenage years. Theo just happening to be the star player for his school's biggest rival and his first crush only complicates matters further. When things get difficult, Charlie finds himself forced to choose between his current life following the path of least resistance or a harder but possibly more fulfilling one.

Playing with Fire
A grumpy/sunshine duo. A motorcycle rally. A slow burn MM romance with sparks, scars, and second chances. Carlos // The thing about fire is, you never notice how close you're standing until it burns. Chuck's that kind of fire-short fuse, sharp tongue, and the kind of stare that pins me in place. He drives me crazy, which would be fine if he didn't also make me laugh, listen, and look twice when no one else does. I told myself helping him plan this rally was just a favor for a friend. Then the late nights started feeling like something else entirely. Chuck // I don't do sunshine. I do engines, late shifts, and keeping my head down. But Carlos has this way of worming into my space, bright and relentless, until I start looking forward to the sound of his laugh more than the roar of my bike. He's everything I don't deserve. He's soft, open, good. And somehow, he's the one thing I can't seem to stay away from. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.
