Tear In My Heart ✔️
"Noah, I won't do it unless you ask me to," he whispered, his voice seductively low. "What?" I asked almost breathless. "Kiss you," he murmured. "And God, there are no words for how badly I want to." **** Noah was your all American boy. Captain of his soccer team, extremely good-looking, having other boys want to be him and girls want to be with him, but there's one problem. He doesn't chase after the captain of the cheerleading squad or the girls who spread their legs open for whoever asks. In fact, he doesn't go for any girl. Instead, he hates himself when his eyes linger on a guy that his brain and heart say is cute. He's gay, and he's having a hard time accepting himself for it. It doesn't help when he wakes up almost naked in another guy's house, let alone in another guy's bed. And to make matters worse, he can't help but fall for the outspoken and extremely attractive Madison who he'd drunkenly went home with and tried to screw. Finally, to add the cherry on top of the crap-tastic cake, Noah is forced to work with Madison for at least six months, or he'll lose his beloved soccer. Nothing could go wrong, right? Throw in a bit of awkwardness mixed with a few close calls and you've got a recipe for disaster....and a tiny tear in Noah's heavily protected heart. © 2018 *endless thanks and love to @half_a_hetero for helping me with the Italian in this book.

𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗚𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘
Moving across the ocean at sixteen wasn't part of the plan. New school, stupid uniforms, and helping at her dad's crappy gas station wasn't either. But here she is-refilling refrigerators at midnight, carrying boxes with broken tape, and counting down the days until she can leave. Two years later, Maria's still stuck. Still bitter. Still haunted by the life she didn't choose. And then he shows up- In a loud, beat-up car. With the kind of attitude that sets her teeth on edge. She doesn't like him. Doesn't want to. But maybe he's just as messed up as she is. Maybe he sees her darkness and doesn't flinch. And maybe... just maybe... gasoline burns better with a match.
