Rowan Anderson spends every day consumed by anxiety. He was recently diagnosed with agoraphobia and hasn't left the house in forever.
Matteo Garcia has a complicated home life to say the least. He's always trying to find a way to scrape together money, while still getting top grades in school and staying on the hockey team.
When Rowan tries to find a summer tutor to catch him up on the school he missed, he stumbles upon Matteo.
Matteo. The guy in his hockey team. The guy he always used to sneak secret glances at. The guy who is the only person who seems to make him feel safe.
The more time they spend together, the more a friendship starts to form. But what happens when feelings -and a long list of other obstacles- get involved?
Will they be able to continue their arrangement without any complications?
Or will both of them be thrown into spirals so deep that the only people who can get them out, is each other.

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.

the perfect pair
When Isaac Tissera accidentally becomes the target of the most popular girl in school, escaping her attention without destroying his social life seems impossible. Until Nate Bedford offers him a solution: Pretend they're dating. Nate is confident, popular, frustratingly attractive, but worst of all, his older brother's best friend- meaning fake dating him should be a complete disaster. Instead, it works ridiculously well. As rumours spread through school and their fake relationship becomes more convincing by the day, Isaac finds himself caught between what everyone else believes and what he's trying very hard not to feel. But the closer he gets to Nate, the more obvious it becomes that maybe Nate has been keeping some things that Isaac should've known about... And when the truth finally comes out, it threatens to destroy both of them.![Rain or Shine [mxm]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/401106904-256-k484996.jpg)
Rain or Shine [mxm]
Eddie Peters is your typical boy next door, with just enough chaos pumping through his veins. Born and raised in Gunner, Tennessee, everyone loves him. But it's all skin-deep. He knows how to navigate small-town courtesies and polite talk just fine-it's real connection that's hard. A tragic string of failed romantic attachments taught him he might be good for a fun time, but not a long time. Cody Hill works at the Rolland Horse Ranch. He's always been no good with people, but horses he knows well. He's a man meant for a simple, quiet life. And if that doesn't include love, that's fine by him. He's made peace with it-or so he thought. When Eddie and Cody meet, the chemistry is undeniable. But chemistry is not real connection. That takes effort, and the courage to let yourself be seen. Companion sequel to "Fight or Flight". Can be read as a standalone, but characters from the previous book are present.

below the ice
Ian has always had one goal and one goal only-to get drafted for the National Hockey League. Nothing has ever thrown him off course from this, except for one boy from his past that knows things about him that rarely sees the light anymore. Finn has never liked hockey. The only reason he joined the team was to look at cute guys, start some fights on the ice (because it looked fun), and to obviously, get a cute hockey butt like all the other guys on the team. When Ian gets tasked with training Finn so that they can actually be a decent team and get to nationals this year, their bond grows strangely close. The only problem is, Ian promised himself he'd never fall in love again, and ends up breaking the one rule he set for himself. Finn on the other hand, doesn't have much interest in dating. He likes having fun, flirting with people without any strings. When Finn finds himself slipping into feelings for Ian, it leaves him questioning everything he thought he knew about himself, dragging Ian down with him in the process. And through all that, they somehow still need to win nationals. ***

As Hadley finds himself becoming more and more detached from the people around him, an incident at school lands him in trouble and leaves him in Spencer's bad books. But as he tries to heal from his first heartbreak and find some deeper connection to a world that seems to be moving without him, Hadley decides to find love in the little things and, in the process, begins to form a bond he didn't expect with the boy who stole his girlfriend.
Love U Max Ellis (bxb) ✔️
A misdelivered love letter meant for the school's cheerleader lands in her twin brother's locker, sparking an unexpected friendship that forces Oliver to face family secrets, his identity, and his growing feelings for the one boy he was never supposed to love. *** Oliver Grant wasn't trying to fall for Max Ellis. He had one job: slip a love letter into locker 166 and finally confess to Kate Ellis - the cool, untouchable cheerleader of his teenage dreams. Instead, it ends up in locker 168. Which belongs to Max Ellis - Kate's twin brother. Broody. Quiet. Star football player. Definitely not the person Oliver was supposed to fall for. And the worst part? Since that day, Max Ellis has been way too interested in Oliver Grant - showing up, sitting too close, smiling like he knows exactly what he's doing. The more Oliver tries to avoid him... ...the harder Max makes it to walk away. Now Oliver's life is spiraling into awkward hallway run-ins, mixed signals, and a growing suspicion that maybe - just maybe - the wrong locker wasn't a mistake at all.

Through his panic attacks and grades on the line, is it really a good idea to get involved, when he doesn't have anyone else to turn to if things should go wrong?
