Some scars stay hidden. Some loves refuse to.✨

Tommy Brooks has always been good at running. From trouble, from his past, from the people who cared too much. But when a deal goes bad and a dangerous man with icy blue eyes saves his life, everything changes.

Adrian Ashford isn't just any outlaw. He's a high-ranking strategist in the Daggervine Syndicate, hiding sharp intentions behind tailored suits and a soft spot he shouldn't have. Tommy should've disappeared, but instead he's drawn deeper into Adrian's world.

Now, with the Syndicate hunting them both, Tommy has a choice: keep running, or fight for the only man who's ever made him want to stay.

He ramms my back with his shoppibg cart and i drop all of my things. While helping me pick them up, he stripes my hand with his and smirks at me. Weird. But the same night, this creep is in my bed. I don't know how the fuck he got in, but somehow he gets me to let him stay the night. He's weird, pervy and always comes on to me and says he'd love to fuck me and shit. But there is something about his behaviour i like. He is funny. And somehow i let him stay with me for a few nights. Which turn into weeks. He opened up about him from time to time and i notice, he does not have it easy. And something inside of me is changing as well. He makes me feel...weird. But not in a bad way. And i don't know why, but somehow my super hot girlfriend starts to piss me off. But sometimes things get awkward when he kisses my neck to tease me... but i know he's just joking. He always does that. - WARNING: This story contains self harm and verbal and mental abuse.☡ ... Again, i really don't know how to describe storys. This is really shitty explained. Well, this is not even a description this is more like his view over the first few days and stuff. Idk. Give it a go and then judge for yourself. I might change the description though because i only just started this book. But thanks already for reading. Have fun.

The Wright Way by JabeRona

Ethan Wright knows what's right and what's wrong. Homosexuality is wrong to him, but then, given the background he's coming (or, more precisely, running) from, he could hardly have formed a different opinion. He doesn't allow it to affect his actions, though. He is a firefighter, and he saves lives no matter how people choose to live them. There's just that one guy that he can't quite get out of his head. The guy that circumstances keep putting in his way. The guy that makes him feel... he's not sure, how. There's not much time for him to figure that out, for his past is about to catch up with him, putting more than just his life in danger, forcing him to face uncomfortable truths and make life-changing decisions. #1 in BXB on 2022-10-01 #2 in MANXMAN on 2022-10-01 *** WARNINGS: The story contains mature themes and language. Not suitable for children. Some chapters include violent and sexual content and may be triggering for some people. Read at your own discretion. Also, the main character is pretty homophobic in the beginning of the story. Needless to say, he'll change ;) yet if you find such a start too upsetting, you might want to skip this book.

Under Oath | BWWM by BlairsPen

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?
