In the neon-lit streets of Starr City, two unlikely heroes find themselves caught between fame and danger. Fang, the cocky parkour pro turned underground fighter, is always one step away from trouble - and always looking for the next challenge. His heart? Wild, reckless, and too big for his own good. Buster, the quiet yet calculating filmmaker, lives in the background, capturing the chaos around him, but there's more to his calm exterior than meets the eye.
When Fang gets in over his head (again), it's Buster who pulls him back, camera in hand, making sure it's all perfectly shot. But between the punches and the cameras, there's a spark that neither of them is ready to admit. They're more than just fight partners. They're something more dangerous.
As the city's shadows grow darker and enemies start closing in, they must decide if they're just making movies or if they're creating something real.

Tied by Mistake
Summary: Choi San is a city alpha-filthy rich, infamously hot, and chronically non-committal. After one scandal too many, he's shipped off to a quiet countryside village for "reflection". He expects boredom. Maybe a cute face or two. Definitely not a lifelong bond. But after one drunken ritual, a misunderstanding with some very old traditions, and a feisty local omega named Wooyoung, San wakes up accidentally mated and married. Wooyoung, the village's self-proclaimed diva, is broke, beautiful, and absolutely not interested in playing house. But rules are rules-and once bonded, the omega must return to the alpha's home until the council can decide their fate. Now, San's back in the city with a glitter-wearing, attitude-drenched husband on his arm-and everyone, from his horrified parents to the hungry press, is watching. Wooyoung's not here to fit in. He's here to survive, serve looks, and maybe ruin San's life just a little. But between public spats, private tension, and the undeniable pull of their bond, something real starts to grow between them. Unfortunately for both of them... They were never supposed to fall in love.
Falling Star , Falling For You
In a sleepy seaside town, Dew lives a simple, grounded life. Strong-willed, confident, and quietly protective, he spends his nights sketching the stars he's always been strangely drawn to. One night, the sky splits open with a brilliant flash. A star falls - not far, not distant - but right behind Dew's home. When he rushes toward the glowing crater, he finds a fragile, breathtaking boy curled inside, trembling like a fading flame. His name is Tee. Tee is not human. He is a celestial star who shattered the cosmic boundary and crashed to earth, losing most of his light. Stars aren't meant to survive in the human world - their bodies weaken, their memories flicker, their hearts become dangerously vulnerable. Dew brings the injured Tee home, caring for him with both curiosity and a confusing tenderness. Tee, soft-spoken and innocent, learns human emotions for the first time - warmth, jealousy, comfort... and love. He clings to Dew not just for safety, but because Dew's presence makes his fading star-heart glow again. But the longer Tee stays on Earth, the dimmer his light becomes. The Heavens demand he return, or vanish forever. Dew, who has never believed in fate, now has to fight against it. Tee, who was born only to shine alone, discovers he wants to stay by Dew's side - even if it burns him out completely. Will Dew find a way to keep Tee alive in his world? Or will Tee's light disappear before he can confess his love? A tender, romantic, slightly magical BL story of fate, devotion, and a star who falls for the one man he shouldn't.Complete

Hardwired For Him✓
Confidence is a hell of a drug, and for Skylar Evans, the high is magnificent-but the comedown is a total fucking bitch. It starts with the catastrophic snap of a heel and ends with a face-plant into the expensive, custom-tailored chest of a man who looks like he owns the sunrise-and probably the bank you keep your meager savings in. Fresh out of the Ivy League, armed with elite coding skills and a caffeine addiction she refuses to apologize for, Skylar wants one thing only. Control. Over her career. Her future. Her heart. Then she meets Carlos D'Artagnan. He is the devil in a bespoke suit. A predator who breathes strategy and exhales liquid heat, wearing a smile that promises heaven while his silver gaze drags you straight to hell. He is elegance sharpened into a weapon, a towering monolith of power built on a foundation of secrets and scars. The moment his eyes lock onto hers, the air in the room doesn't just thin-it catches fire. In that one, soul-stripping look, Skylar realizes the encryption on her heart has been bypassed; her carefully guarded life is about to be dismantled, piece by agonizing piece. One reckless encounter drags her into his orbit of corporate warfare and whispered betrayals. Carlos thought he had buried the monster he used to be, but the past is a debt that always collects. Now, it's rising to reclaim him, and Skylar is the only collateral he's not willing to lose.Complete

Final Round [MxM]
[COMPLETED] [2025 Wattys Honorable Mention] Danny's neighbor should be illegal. There's no way someone should be that attractive. They've lived next door to each other for over a year. As a skinny, clumsy, sweater-loving, Modern Poetry professor, Danny never believed someone like him could catch the eye of someone as perfect as Brett. But when Danny (accidentally) RSVPs to a destination wedding he never wanted to attend, he realizes he's in a bind-he needs a plus-one. And somehow, Brett becomes his unexpected solution. Brett's MMA career was on the brink of greatness until an injury stopped him cold. Now, trying to reclaim his spot in the octagon and live up to heavy expectations, the last thing Brett expected was to build a friendship with the neighbor he's been crushing on. However, Danny is undeniably gorgeous and way out of his league, so he needs to maintain realistic expectations. But, when Danny needs a date for a destination wedding, Brett's first instinct is to offer his help. Being his fake boyfriend would not be a hardship. A romantic beach, a fake relationship, and one bed... what could go wrong? Genre: Contemporary Romance / Fake Relationship / Friends to Love / HEA Guaranteed / Dual POV There will be mature scenes between two men that I will mark accordingly. These scenes are intended for mature audiences. This is a spin-off of the worlds of King of Hawkings/Death & Tequila and A New Song/Beats of the Heart, but it is a stand-alone novel, so reading the other novels is unnecessary. However, some old characters will appear, so you may enjoy it more with the full background.Complete
Sweet Spot
Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*Complete

But when an explosive fight with her ex gets her thrown out of the bar, Evi finds herself stuck outside, angry, and alone. Max doesn't let her back in. Instead, he does something worse. He takes her home. Evi doesn't need saving. She doesn't need someone looking out for her. But as the nights go on, she starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, Max isn't the enemy. Maybe he's something else entirely. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with tension, banter, and one unforgettable kiss-this is a story about finding love where you least expect it.Complete
