Julian Thorne lives by one rule: no seconds.

By day, he's the flawless heir to a corporate empire.
By night, he drowns his thoughts in strangers he never sees twice.

It works-until the man he walked away from before dawn becomes the auditor assigned to judge his family, his future... and him.

Elias Vance is disciplined, controlled, and dangerously perceptive. He wants to save Julian from his chaos.
Caleb Vane wants to keep him in it.

Caught between protection that destroys and protection that controls, Julian must decide whether healing is worth the risk of being seen-and whether love can exist without ownership.

Burn Marks on the Same Road by juji_jeona

Luca Moretti survived his inheritance. He survived gangs, blood debts, and a family built from violence. He learned how to keep moving, how not to feel, how to choose loyalty over truth. Then he meets him. A racer who rides like Luca fights. A man who drinks like Luca runs. A mirror with different scars. They hate each other on sight-because recognition is dangerous, and because falling in love with the enemy would destroy everything they're trying to protect. So they hurt each other instead. They race too close. They fight too hard. They say the things meant to cut deepest. And still, they keep finding each other-on the track, in the dark, far from family, far from safety. Because some love stories aren't meant to save you. They're meant to burn you alive.

Brotherhood by Funtime_writer

You don't know what you've got until it's gone by Sikalilly

My name is James. I have two brothers, two identical brothers. My life was always 'different' but it was by no means boring. It wasn't always easy but we made the most of it. When I was sixteen I had one of the worst experiences of my life. Looking back on it now, that year changed me, a lot. It molded me into the person I am today. It chokes me up to even think about it, but if anything had been different I wouldn't be where I am right now. You know how they say everyone has a purpose? It's true. Even someone you may think can't contribute at all. If you look hard enough you'll find it, their reason for being here. Some people can see it without much effort at all. Unfortunately for others, they don't realize it until their gone.

What Stays Broken by jmgwriter

Sixteen-year-old Kason Mills has never really been wanted. He's been passed around like baggage, from the mother he tried to save from her own battles with addiction and mental illness, to relatives who couldn't handle his outbursts, to group homes that labeled him "too much." When his mom dies, Kason finds himself once again without a place to land and a heart full of anger he can't seem to control. Armed with a duffel bag, a few broken memories, and a diagnosis list longer than his future looks, Kason is sent to live with his mom's identical sister, who can't stand who he looks like, and cousins who wish he'd stayed gone. Between his ADHD, impulsivity, and defiance, Kason's never been the kid anyone chooses to keep. But maybe ... just maybe...there's still room in the world for someone like him and allows him to believe he is still worth love, even if he feels broken..

Tough Love - Miguel Diaz by thelifeofashowgirl

I Am Cameron by AuthorAnnait

Now on AMAZON Cameron Alexander Benning doesn't think much of his life and his parents agree. Maybe it's the drugs talking when they say it, but Cameron believes them. He was taught to be invisible, to go unnoticed in his day to day life. No one knew he existed, so why is this mail addressed to him? What happens when his true family reaches out to him and shows a world where the possibilities are endless? What will he do when his past catches up to him?

The Art of Desolation by firesandroses

16-year-old Ronan Conti was never meant to be anything. That's what he believed. He lived with his abusive stepfather for most of his life, the man that made him believe that every golden wing was meant to be fake and every tear shed of pain had to be deserved. Ronan lived on what felt like the ledge of a cliff for his entire life. He hides his secrets within the cracks between the past and present, never letting anyone ever get too close to see them. But what happens when all of that changes? When he's suddenly surrounded by newfound family - five older brothers - who want him to be happy? Who want him to believe that he's worthy? Will he accept and finally admit to needing help? Or will he continue to fall into his destructive rabbit hole? Updated regularly. *the cover photo was found off pinterest, i do not own it*

The Brother's Shadow by BerryDoodle

Marco grew up believing cruelty was love, every bruise disguised as care, every lie packaged as truth. He found himself at a police station and got a DNA test. The results revealed more than bloodlines, they uncovered five brothers. Brothers he was never meant to find. Brothers, someone had kept from him for a reason. This is my first story, so I apologize if it's not good. Also, English is not my first language. Read the warnings!!! Slow updates! (I also edited the story, so if some comments don't make sense, it's because I changed some things, but most of it is the same. The thing I changed most was the writing.) Happy reading!! (づ˶•༝•˶)づ♡
