In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by war, humanity has become a weaponized shadow of its former self. Children are stripped of names, raised in brutal compounds, and trained from birth to be soldiers. Emotions are weakness. Compassion is treason. Survival is everything.
Seventeen-year-old #M46880-known to no one as Jamie-is the kind of soul this world was designed to crush. Small, gentle, and mute from years of abuse, Jamie has survived longer than anyone expected. But when he's pulled from his desolate compound by beings humanity has long feared-immortal watchers from another realm-his story doesn't end.
It begins.
In a world where time flows differently and immortals live in quiet harmony, Jamie is still a child. There, he's adopted by Rowan and Ezra Hale, a devoted couple who see not a soldier, but a boy in need of love. As Jamie begins to heal in their home of soft blankets, music, and warmth, he faces a new challenge: learning how to be safe when all he's ever known is survival.

Finding Life Again
Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.Complete
U 1 of 1. ( NBAYOUNGBOY )
Slayer's life has always been about keeping her head down and making a difference-running a well-known orphanage in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and keeping her own heart protected.

Two worlds collide-her soft, caring, grounded life and his tumultuous, high-profile reality-and sparks fly in the most unexpected ways. Between late-night conversations, playful teasing, and stolen moments, they learn there's more to each other than first impressions-or reputations-might suggest. But love doesn't come easy. With court restrictions, public scrutiny, and their own personal struggles, every step toward each other is a test of patience, trust, and desire. Will their chemistry be enough to bridge the gap, or will life-and their pasts-keep them apart?Complete
Loving Zach (MxM)
Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner.

Home is a Four Letter Word
(Book One) Jake Holmes hadn't put much thought into what home meant until Connor Morgan asked him to. He had settled with an idealistic fantasy. A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity. A life with Connor was something close enough to touch if he only knew how to reach for it. Jake's feelings for Connor become unmistakable, but the grip his past has on his ability to embrace the possibility of a life where he lets those feelings win threatens to leave him with a desperate choice he isn't equipped to make. As Jake struggles to find home within his identity, he is forced to combat the part of his heart that is stuck in the past with the part of his heart that yearns for a future. What is home if not where the heart is? Completed. Book 1 of 3. Sequel releases coming soon.Complete

Bloom in the wake of Ruin ⚣ ✔️
"Excuse me, sir. I think you may have dropped these?" It was the voice I noticed first. Smooth, a little amused, and low enough to draw me out of myself. Then I saw him. Dirty blonde hair that looked like waves crashing down the sides of his face, and freckles like splattered paint across his fair skin. A silver hoop in his nose, another in his brow, both catching the light. And those eyes... electric blue, staring into my green ones with intensity. - After a heartbreaking loss, Killian has spent two years shielding himself from love, or any human contact really-convinced that no one could ever replace the person he lost. Finn, on the other hand, is caught in the throes of a toxic relationship, knowing he's not getting what he deserves but is too scared to walk away. When their paths cross, the spark is undeniable, but both are hesitant, scared of getting too close. Killian fears the pain of loving and losing again, while Finn's relationship has made him lose hope all together-almost. Will they let their pasts define them, or can they find the courage to bloom together in the wake of their ruins?Complete![Under Review [MM]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396999767-256-k999378.jpg)
Under Review [MM]
A guarded student. A dominant tutor. When trust turns intimate, Jamie learns that submission can heal or destroy everything. Jamie hides behind good grades, polite smiles, and a secret side job he can't afford to lose. His world is carefully controlled. That is until his sharp-tongued assigned tutor sees through the act. Arnie is everything Jamie shouldn't want: older, dominant, and far too observant. What begins as curiosity and control slowly unravels into something tender, dangerous, and real. As trust deepens and boundaries blur, love becomes both a refuge and a risk. But when the past refuses to stay buried, Jamie and Arnie must face the truth about power, protection, and the cost of being seen. A story of submission, healing, and finding family in the most unexpected places. Books 1 & 2 & 3
