When Carmelo Rizzo, a guarded scholarship student from Brooklyn, arrives at an elite New England college, he expects long nights of study and a constant reminder that he doesn't belong. What he doesn't expect is Archie Braun-charismatic quarterback, golden boy of Boston society, and his new roommate.

Archie is everything Carmelo resents: effortless, admired, untouchable. But beneath the laughter and late-night football games lies something else-something unspoken. As the seasons change, so does the space between them, shifting from rivalry to friendship... to something far more dangerous.

As a teenager, we all struggle through the path of finding ourselves. Late nights at our lovers' houses, drinking cheap spirits down by the riverside, trying ever-so-hard to destroy those blasted bumps on our chins. For some, however, it is much harder. Zakary Peters; the popular boy, you may believe. He was thought to have it all, great friends, a nice house and even the most attractive girlfriend in all of Manchester, England. But as Zak begins to discover himself, thanks to a certain blue-eyed blind boy, he is forced into learning the true art of self-acceptance, the wills of the heart, and has the opportunity to experience the cliché of a teenage romance gone wrong. All of which is hidden amongst his idea of an impractically perfect Hell.

"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. I'm not a native Italian speaker, so having their help was invaluable. Follow them and show them some love!!* Amazing cover by @Grand_ Highest Rank: #4 in lgbt

His secret Lover | BxB by Author_K_
47 parts Complete Mature
Noah Hayes is the kind of guy everyone notices-fun, confident, and the star quarterback of Riverview High. Everyone loves him, and everyone assumes they know him. But no one knows the truth that keeps him up at night: Noah likes boys, and he hates himself for it. He's built walls so high even he can't see over them. Julian Bennett is the opposite of Noah in every way. Quiet, shy, and sweet, he fades into the background without trying. But behind his timid demeanor lies a bold, unspoken confidence about who he is, even if no one else really notices. When Noah and Julian get paired together in class, neither expects anything beyond awkward study sessions and polite conversation. But sparks fly, and soon Julian becomes Noah's tutor-both in academics and in feelings Noah has tried to bury for years. One kiss turns into a secret relationship, and Noah finally allows himself to feel something real. For a while, everything seems perfect. Until the pressure catches up. Torn between the world he's built and the world he secretly craves, Noah makes a choice that shatters Julian's heart and leaves them both broken. When Julian shows up at one of Noah's games with his friends, Noah pretends not to care. But on the field, with the roar of the crowd and the ache of regret, Noah realizes he's at a crossroads. Will he keep running from himself, or will he risk everything to prove that what he and Julian had wasn't just a secret, but something real?

Seventeen-year-old Ryan thought transferring to a new school would be just another fresh start, but everything changed the moment he caught the attention of Lucas, the untouchable captain of the football team. Their rivalry sparks instantly, but beneath the surface lies a tension neither of them can explain-or ignore. As Ryan pushes boundaries, testing Lucas's control with subtle provocations, Lucas finds himself unraveling in ways he never expected. Caught between competition, desire, and confusion, both boys are forced to confront emotions they've buried deep, each interaction pulling them closer to a line they're terrified to cross. With secrets, power struggles, and a shared determination to stay on top, Ryan and Lucas's battle for control is more than just on the field-it's in their hearts. Tangled in a game of dominance and vulnerability, how long can they resist what's simmering between them before everything boils over? Cover image from Pinterest
