Evelyn's picture-perfect life is falling apart.
Elio, her estranged brother, who was the black sheep of the family..wants nothing to do with her and the family she stayed behind for.

When she stumbles into his world-full of half-empty takeout containers, late-night group chats, and friends who feel more like the family they deserved-she expects tension, not comfort.
Definitely not the kind of comfort that feels like home.
And certainly not Theo, Elio's golden-boy actor  roommate, who somehow sees right through her walls.

As old wounds resurface and new, complicated feelings spark-not just between Evelyn and Theo, but across the entire messy friend group-Evelyn and Elio have to decide:
Is it too late to build something whole from everything that's broken?
Or are some families always meant to stay broken.All Rights Reserved

Beneath the Ashes by jennsbestreads

Harper Carson is 19. Guarded, smart, and quietly kind. She has more scars than she lets anyone see-some from fists, some from silence, and some from things she still can't say out loud. After surviving years in an abusive home, she's finally moved out. Alone, bruised, but breathing. Trying to build a new life from nothing. She doesn't have friends. She doesn't want attention. She just wants peace. Then there's Elliot Blackford. Now 23. Cold. Sharp. Distant. He was once her best friend-before everything fell apart. Now he's something else entirely. And whatever he's become... he's hiding something dangerous. They're not the same people they were. What was once love is now buried under anger, betrayal, and silence. But something still ties them together-something neither of them are ready to face. And Harper? She's done pretending she's fine. She's ready to burn everything down... or rise from it.

What Happens in Whitefish by SalmaVera

Geno has spent most of her life trying to hold everything together, school, work, and the constant worry that it could all fall apart. When her three best friends plan one last summer trip before senior year, she almost says no. But two months in a cabin by a Montana lake might be exactly what she needs to slowly slow down and breathe again. Between late-night talks, nonstop laughter, and long days under open skies, Geno starts to remember what it feels like to just exist. And somewhere in the middle of it all, she begins to notice the quiet way VJ looks at her, the same VJ who's hated his Valentine's Day name forever, and who's been part of her life for as long as she can remember. But every summer has to end. What starts as a simple escape turns into the moment everything changes, friendships, feelings, and the person Geno thought she was. A heartfelt coming-of-age story about growing up, holding on, and finding love in the calm between the chaos.

The House (SAMPLE) by m20anderson

A charming roommate. A hopeless crush. A coming-of-age MM romance full of humor, heart, and heat. Liam // I didn't plan on falling for my roommate. I just wanted to survive college without embarrassing myself in front of Morgan-who, for the record, is everything I'm not. He's confident, charming, and somehow even looks good doing laundry. I keep telling myself it's just a crush, that the late-night talks and inside jokes don't mean anything. But every time he smiles at me, it feels less like a phase and more like falling. He's completely out of my depth. Morgan // Liam's chaos shouldn't be my problem, but somehow, it's become my favorite part of the day. He's awkward, loud, and way too easy to care about. I've had flings before, sure, but nothing that's ever felt like this-like coming home to someone who actually sees me. The rules were simple: don't get attached. But with Liam, the line between friendship and something real keeps blurring, and I'm not sure I want to stop it anymore. 📖 Part of The House Collection The House is part of The House Collection, a series of interconnected queer romances about messy friendships, found family, and falling in love when you least expect it.

But the groom's gone silent, and the bride's older brother-the annoyingly cold, maddeningly gorgeous CEO-wants it all buried. She's not letting it go. He's not letting her in.

Some love stories aren't planned-they crash into you when you least expect it.

Temptress by that_one_book_gurl

Three years ago, Kiara made a mistake-one that lives in the dark corners of the internet. No face. No name. Just a username and a desperate girl trying to keep her family from falling apart. Now seventeen and living alone, she's untouchable. Unbothered. And totally off-limits... especially to Oliver Hayes, her best friend's older brother. Cold, cynical, and painfully hot, Oliver has no interest in love-and Kiara isn't looking for it either. But when he finds out the truth about her past, everything changes. Secrets slip. Lines blur. And soon, they're playing a game neither of them can win. She tempts him to break every rule. He makes her want something she swore she'd never need. This was supposed to be just sex. So why does it feel like falling?
