A slowburn love story with just feeling.
In a world that expects you to pick a side, choose a label, and define every emotion... one soft-spoken artist finds themselves caught between the silence of glances and the noise of their own heart.
When Khline meets Noah... quiet, steady, unreadable something stirs.
And just when they start to understand him... Jae arrives. Loud, messy, full of feeling.
Torn between two boys.
Torn between what feels safe and what feels real.
Torn between being chosen... and choosing for themselves.
This isn't a story about who they fall for.
It's a story about how.
And everything they feel somewhere between the lines.

What Are the Odds?
Noah destroys every life he touches. Taking his first life with his own first breath, his path of destruction only spirals from there. Consumed by guilt and reminded every day of all that he's done, he makes a terrible decision- and ends up with the only thing he's ever wanted in life. Now he's faced with a choice- lie and be happy, or tell the truth and risk losing the one person who's saved his life time and time again. The odds that all of this could happen to one person? Slim to none. But then again, they've always been stacked against him. **trigger warning for content: suicide, trauma, physical/emotional abuse** **Mature- strong language, some sexual content** My cover was created using a free stock photo I found online and the website Canva- I do not own the picture!

A Love Written In Ruin
Two rival princes. One fragile peace. A love that could reignite war. In a world of magic, betrayal, and forbidden love, Azrion and Cassian must choose between duty and desire in this LGBTQ romantic fantasy of heartbreak, rebellion, and hope. One year ago, the Aiprenao Empire and the Kingdom of Kahiba ended a brutal war with a treaty signed in silence. Now, on the anniversary of that uneasy peace, Crown Prince Azrion of Aiprenao is forced into the spotlight a reluctant symbol of unity, haunted by secrets and a voice that once brought nations to their knees. Cassian, the spare prince of Kahiba, was never meant to matter. But with a smile that disarms and a tenderness that cuts deeper than any blade, he becomes the one person Azrion can't ignore and the one he's forbidden to love. As political tensions simmer and old wounds threaten to reopen, Azrion must choose between duty and desire, silence and song, survival and surrender. Because in a world where love is a liability and peace is paper-thin, falling for Cassian might not just cost him the crown it could cost them both their lives. A tragic, tender, and spellbinding tale of rival kingdoms, broken boys, and the kind of love that rewrites history.

Loving You For 7 Years
Seven years of silent love. Two boys fighting for her heart. One phobia that changes everything. Returning to Lagos, Nigeria after two difficult years away was hard enough for Bella. Now, navigating the drama of high school is even tougher when you're wrestling with autism and a debilitating phobia of touch that keeps the entire world at arm's length. Bella has built walls too high and too thick for anyone to penetrate-anyone, except for one person. That person is Max. Max is the only boy Bella has ever loved, and the only person she allows to break her barrier and offer a comforting hand. But Max sees Bella as his best friend, his safe harbor, and nothing more, leaving Bella trapped in a seven-year-long, agonizing friend-zone as he dates other girls. Enter Max's younger brother, the charismatic, persistent boy who sees the real Bella beneath her tough exterior. He's determined to break through her phobia and show her what true, reciprocal love looks like. As Bella navigates the minefield of high school, forced proximity, and her own deeply-rooted fears, she faces an impossible choice: Will she finally confess her love and win the boy she's devoted seven years to, or will his brother be the one to finally teach her how to let go and feel?
Kept.......(#1 of the Love series)
He wasn't offering kindness. He just didn't shut the door. I said I could cook. I lied. I said I wasn't a thief. I lied again. But for some reason, he let me stay. And that's when everything started to hurt less. Kai doesn't trust people. He trusts what they leave unguarded. Living on the streets has made him quick with his hands and quicker with lies. When he spots Elias - calm, unreadable, alone - he sees an easy mark. But Elias doesn't react the way he should. He doesn't panic. He doesn't question. He offers Kai a place to stay. No strings. No rules. No locked doors. Kai tells himself it's temporary. He tells himself it's survival. He doesn't expect to feel safe. He doesn't expect to start wanting to stay. And he definitely doesn't expect that staying will bring everything he ran from crashing back into his life.

At least, that's what they keep telling themselves. But tension has a way of unraveling, and some lines-once crossed-can never be undone. "We shouldn't," he breathes against my lips. But he doesn't move away. "I don't care," I whisper back... 🔥 Mature Content | Slow-Burn | Enemies to Forbidden Lovers 🔥Complete
